An Introduction to Canon Law (Revised)
by James A. Coriden
from Paulist Press
Canon law is the name given to the rules that govern church order and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church. This valuable book, which has been updated to reflect changes and adaptations in canon law and new resources in the field, offers an introductory orientation of all of canon law.
A superb teaching and learning tool, it provides outlines and overviews of relatively complex areas of canon law, sketches the basic structure and design of the various offices and functions within the church and how they relate to each other, and gives an orientation to the more important areas of canon law, as well as a background and context within which more detailed rules can be understood. Two appendices offer guidance for doing canonical research and case studies for further discussion.
A High View of Scripture? The Authority of the Bible and the Formation of the New Testament Canon (Evangelical Ressourcement: Ancient Sources for the Church's Future)
by Craig D. Allert
from Baker Academic
Where did the Bible come from? Author Craig D. Allert encourages more evangelicals to ask that question. In A High View of Scripture? Allert introduces his audience to the diverse history of the canon's development and what impact it has today on how we view Scripture. Allert affirms divine inspiration of the Bible and, in fact, urges the very people who proclaim the ultimate authority of the Bible to be informed about how it came to be. This book, the latest in the Evangelical Ressourcement series, will be valuable as a college or seminary text and for readers interested in issues of canon development and biblical authority.
A Concise Guide to Canon Law; A Practical Handbook for Pastoral Ministers

Rome Has Spoken . . .: A Guide to Forgotten Papal Statements, and How They Have Changed Through the Centuries
from The Crossroad Publishing Company
For some Catholics, the answer is in the old adage, "Rome has spoken, the case is closed." Yet history tells a different story. When Rome speaks, the debate often heats up. And the case is never closed.
For the first time the documentation of these changes is complied in a single volume. Expert commentators put the changing ideas into historical and theological contexts. Rome Has Spoken ... is a fascinating reference for adult Catholics and for anyone interested in the history of religion.
An Overview of Orthodox Canon Law (Orthodox, Theological Library)
by Panteleimon Rodopoulos
from Orthodox Research Institute
This Overview of the Canon Law of the Orthodox Catholic Church is a précis of the lessons on Canon Law taught to undergraduate students of the Theological School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 1968; and, after the division of the School into two Departments in 1982, to the undergraduates of the Department of Pastoral and Social Theology. With the passage of time, the content of the lessons underwent adaptations and improvements because of what had in the meantime become His Eminence Panteleimon's established ecclesiological and canonical views on certain matters of Canon Law. These changes were small but nonetheless of the essence. The present edition does not constitute a complete system of Canon Law, but, as its title declares, is an overview thereof.
Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent
by C. Trent
from Tan Books & Publishers
Of the 20 ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church, the Council of Trent (1545-1563), is universally regarded as the greatest - in the scope of its discussion, in the number of its pronouncements, and in the extent of its influence. Here in one volume is Father Schroeder's wonderful translation of all the canons and decrees of that Council. These infallible pronouncements shine in their clarity and simplicity, and are a certain statement on many important matters of Faith at a time when the Catholic world is racked by confusion and controversy. Destined to do a great good to enlighten many. A must for every student of the Faith and everyone who loves the Church. No Catholic library, whether home, parish or school, is complete without these teachings. Imprimatur.

Orthodox Canon Law, A Casebook for Study
by Patrick Viscuso
from InterOrthodox Press
Orthodox Canon Law, A Casebook for Study provides a foundation for exploration of Orthodoxy s canonical tradition and, ultimately, to promote its appropriation for the needs of the contemporary Church. For the most part, the study texts are derived from primary sources, and concentrate on the Byzantine period and writings of Greek-speaking Orthodox churches. The casebook is divided into three main sections: a general introduction to Orthodox canon law; a survey of marriage and gender questions; and an overview of issues related to the organizational structure of the Church. The approach taken is case study by guided discussion questions. Each case is introduced by brief background material that will provide the student enough information to understand the canonical texts, which are taken from primary sources. The discussion questions will guide a systematic analysis of the texts in order to convey general canonical principles as well as methodology. A key to these questions appears in an appendix so that they may be used for self-study or by a discussion leader.
