Religion meant far more in early modern England than church on Sundays, a baptism, a funeral or a wedding ceremony. The Church was fully enmeshed in the everyday lives of the people; in particular, their morals and religious observance. The Church imposed comprehensive regulations on its flock, such as sex before marriage, adultery and receiving the sacrament, and it employed an army of informers and bureaucrats, headed by a diocesan chancellor, to enable its courts to enforce the rules. Church courts lay, thus, at the very intersection of Church and people. The courts of the seventeenth century - when 'a cyclonic shattering' produced a 'great overturning of everything in England' - have, surprisingly, had to wait until now for scrutiny. Church Courts and the People in Seventeenth-Century England offers a detailed survey of three dioceses across the whole of the century, examining key aspects such as attendance at court, completion of business and, crucially, the scale of guilt to test the performance of the courts. While the study will capture the interest of lawyers to clergymen, or from local historians to sociologists, its primary appeal will be to researchers in the field of Church history. For students and researchers of the seventeenth century, it provides a full account of court operations, measuring the extent of control, challenging orthodoxies about excommunication, penance and juries, contextualising ecclesiastical justice within major societal issues of the times and, ultimately, presents powerful evidence for a 'church in danger' by the end of the century.

Die spätkarolingische Epoche, die Zeit zwischen ca. 850 und 930, gilt als quellenarme Zeit. Für die Geschichte des kirchlichen und weltlichen Rechts sieht es aber etwas anders aus: Es gibt eine große Anzahl von Handschriften aus dieser Epoche, die die alten Normen des Rechts überliefern, auf wichtigen Konzilien wurden neue Normen erlassen, und der gesamte Rechtsstoff wurde außerdem in einigen Sammlungen jener Zeit auf neue Weise dargeboten und für die Praxis aufbereitet. Die international hochkarätigen Beiträger diskutieren Rechtskenntnis und Rechtspraxis von Päpsten und Königen, neue Normen, neue Formen der Darbietung des Rechtsstoffs und die veränderte Praxis von Buße und Rekonziliation.

This text explores the rise of private arbitration in religious and other values-oriented communities, and it argues that secular societies should use secular legal frameworks to facilitate, enforce, and regulate religious arbitration, including those from Rabbinical Courts, Sharia Tribunals, and any faith-based arbitration tribunals.
