Summary: "The Clergyman's Hand-book of Law: The Law of Church and Grave" by Charles M. Scanlan is a legal reference work written in the early 20th century. This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for clergymen, detailing various aspects of law as it pertains to church matters, including organizational structure, property rights, and the intersection of ecclesiastical and civil law. The work aims to provide clergy with essential legal knowledge to navigate the complexities of church law in the context of American legislation. The opening of the text begins with a brief context on the necessity for clergymen to be informed about legal principles that affect religious organizations. Scanlan emphasizes the historical connection between law and religion, highlighting how ancient legal systems were interwoven with religious norms. In his preface, he outlines the scope of the handbook, indicating that it will cover diverse topics such as the understanding of what constitutes a church, membership laws, heresies, and excommunication, and he commits to presenting the information in a clear and accessible format rather than through overwhelming legal technicalities. This pragmatic approach reflects his intention to support clergymen who may lack formal legal training but who require a foundational understanding of relevant laws to effectively serve their congregations.
