In a provocative essay, philosopher Jeffrie G. Murphy asks: 'what
would law be like if we organized it around the value of Christian
love, and if we thought about and criticized law in terms of that
value?'. This book brings together leading scholars from a variety
of disciplines to address that question. Scholars have given
surprisingly little attention to assessing how the central
Christian ethical category of love - agape - might impact the way
we understand law. This book aims to fill that gap by investigating
the relationship between agape and law in Scripture, theology, and
jurisprudence, as well as applying these insights to contemporary
debates in criminal law, tort law, elder law, immigration law,
corporate law, intellectual property, and international relations.
At a time when the discourse between Christian and other world
views is more likely to be filled with hate than love, the
implications of agape for law are crucial.
