Summary

Religious Laws explores the profound influence of sacred laws on global societies, delving into their historical roots and continued relevance. It examines how religious doctrines have shaped ethical frameworks, legal systems, and social norms, revealing that many modern laws are rooted in ancient religious principles. For example, concepts of justice and fairness found in many legal systems can be traced back to religious texts and traditions, highlighting the interconnectedness of religious and secular thought.

 
The book adopts a comparative approach, analyzing legal principles across diverse faiths like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and tracing their development from early scriptures to codified systems. It demonstrates how these laws, beyond their spiritual context, have significantly impacted the development of legal and ethical principles worldwide.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the concept of religious law, then examines specific examples from major world religions, and finally analyzes their intersection with modern legal systems and ethical debates.

How to Be Queer - An Ancient...

Sarah Nooter

The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
 
 
 
How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
 
 
 
Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.
