This book explores for the first time the broad range of ways in
which Christian thought intersects with American legal theory.
Eminent legal scholars-including Stephen Carter, Thomas Shaffer,
Elizabeth Mensch, Gerard Bradley, and Marci Hamilton-describe how
various Christian traditions, including the Catholic, Calvinist,
Anabaptist, and Lutheran traditions, understand law and justice,
society and the state, and human nature and human striving. The
book reveals not only the diversity among Christian legal thinkers
but also the richness of the Christian tradition as a source for
intellectual and ethical approaches to legal inquiry. The
contributors bring various perspectives to the subject. Some engage
the prominent schools of legal thought: liberalism, legal realism,
critical legal studies, feminism, critical race theory, and law and
economics. Others address substantive areas, including
environmental, criminal, contract, torts, and family law, as well
as professional responsibility. Together the essays introduce a new
school of legal thought that will make a signal contribution to
contemporary discussions of law.
Everson Revisited explores the consequences and future implications
of Everson v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court case
that permitted the use of tax revenue to transport students to
parochial schools while simultaneously calling for an impenetrable
'wall of separation' between religion and public schools.
