Journal of Law and Religion (JLR)

The Journal of Law and Religion (JLR) is a leading interdisciplinary publication that explores the complex relationship between law, religion, and society. Established in 1982, the journal has become a vital forum for scholarly dialogue on theological jurisprudence, political theology, religious freedom, and the role of religion in shaping legal systems worldwide. JLR publishes original research articles, essays, case notes, and book reviews that address both historical and contemporary issues, ranging from constitutional debates on religious liberty to comparative studies of religious legal traditions. Its scope includes Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other faiths, as well as secular perspectives on religion and law. The journal is particularly valued for its ability to bridge academic disciplines, drawing contributions from law, theology, philosophy, political science, and sociology. By fostering critical engagement with pressing global issues—such as human rights, pluralism, and the intersection of law with moral and ethical traditions—JLR provides insights that are relevant to scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and religious communities. Published three times per year, JLR ensures timely dissemination of research and remains an essential resource for understanding how law and religion interact in diverse cultural and political contexts.
