Description
Summary:Dieser Band fördert die wichtigsten rechtlichen und theologischen Lehren zutage, die die westlichen Grundinstitutionen des Glaubens, der Freiheit und der Familie geprägt haben. Er verteidigt diese Lehren gegen moderne Kritiker und schlägt neue Wege vor, um diese grundlegenden Institutionen für moderne pluralistische Gesellschaften zu reformieren und wiederherzustellen.
Faith, freedom, and family together form the bedrock of a good life and a just society. But this foundation has suffered seismic shocks from vibrant religious pluralism, profound political changes, and new conceptions of marriage. This volume retrieves the major legal and theological teachings that have shaped these institutions and suggests ways to strengthen and integrate them anew. Part I highlights the work of several scholars of law and religion who have defined and defended the place of faith in law, politics, and society. Part II documents the development of freedom in the West and parries the attacks of skeptics of modern rights. Part III reaffirms the family as a cornerstone of faith and freedom historically and today, even while defending some modern marital reforms. Opening essays by the editors and closing interviews of the author place Witte's work in biographical and intellectual context and map some of the new frontiers and challenges of faith, freedom, and family around the globe.
