Vorwort A thoroughly revised and updated standard work on the Canon law of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. Zusammenfassung This highly useful book provides quick reference and accessibility to the current canon law of both churches. The entry for every canonical term presents its definition and the law relating to it in each canon. There are cross-references throughout to help the reader make further significant connections. Also included are terms not easily translated across the two canons, and some common terms from the Eastern Catholic Church. The appendices contain changes to the Universal law of the Roman Catholic Church which are outside the 1983 Code of Canon law. At a time when Christians are increasingly working side by side, this is an essential resource for pastoral workers, scholars and clergy in all the churches. For this new edition the content has been significantly updated and revised. Of the now 466 entries in this book 80 have been updated or added newly Inhaltsverzeichnis PrefaceAbbreviationsDoctrinal Documents of the Roman Catholic ChurchTable of CasesTable of Parliamentary StatutesTable of Measures of the Church of EnglandRulesChurch of England Reports, Resolutions, Statements and GuidelinesDictionaryAppendices I-IIITerms from the Eastern Catholic ChurchDictionaries and Reference BooksTextbooks, Booklets and CommentariesArticles
