Exploring the interplay between law and justice, this book examines the concepts of dispensation and economy within Christian traditions, highlighting their role in allowing exceptions to legal obligations without altering the law itself. Will Adam reveals how dispensing power exists across various church systems, particularly in Roman Catholic and Orthodox canon law, while facing skepticism in the Church of England and English law. The work argues for the importance of legal flexibility in the Church, suggesting it is essential for fulfilling its contemporary mission.
