What impact has Christianity had on the law from its beginnings to
the present day? This introduction explores the main legal
teachings of Western Christianity, set out in the texts and
traditions of scripture and theology, philosophy and jurisprudence.
It takes up the weightier matters of the law that Christianity has
profoundly shaped - justice and mercy, rule and equity, discipline
and love - as well as more technical topics of canon law, natural
law, and state law. Some of these legal creations were wholly
original to Christianity. Others were converted from Jewish and
classical traditions. Still others were reformed by Renaissance
humanists and Enlightenment philosophers. But whether original or
reformed, these Christian teachings on law, politics and society
have made and can continue to make fundamental contributions to
modern law in the West and beyond.
