Die Frage nach der Begründbarkeit des Rechts zeigt gegenwärtig ihre bleibende Aktualität. Obwohl offensichtliche Parallelen bestehen, sind theologische Beiträge zur Ethik des Rechts bis heute alles andere als selbstverständlich.Im ersten Teil der Untersuchung wird der Einfluß des christlichen Glaubens auf die europäische Rechtsentwicklung von der Christianisierung des römischen Reiches bis zur Diskussion universeller Menschenrechte in der Gegenwart gezeigt. Im zweiten Teil widmet sich das Werk der Rechtfertigungslehre bezüglich der für die neuzeitliche Entwicklung verantwortlichen drei Hauptschübe »Theodizee«, »Anthropodizee« und »Soziodizee«. Der dritte Teil behandelt die neuere Diskussion zur Rechtfertigungslehre, wobei die spezifische Verbindung von Rechtfertigung und Recht am Werk des aus der Schweiz stammenden evangelischen Theologen Karl Barth expliziert wird. Abschließend wird die Unterscheidung von Person und ihrem Handeln hervorgehoben. Dies läßt zu, die Sinnhaftigkeit des Lebens auch bei denjenigen Menschen noch zu bejahen, die im Handeln gescheitert sind. Der Vorrang der Person vor ihren Werken bietet die Grundlage für eine Personenwürde, unabhängig von Geschlecht, Alter, Fähigkeiten und Wohlstand.

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.

Natural moral law stands at the center of Western ethics and jurisprudence and plays a leading role in interreligious dialogue. Although the greatest source of the classical natural law tradition is Thomas Aquinas' Treatise on Law, the Treatise is notoriously difficult, especially for nonspecialists. J. Budziszewski has made this formidable work luminous. This book - the first classically styled, line-by-line commentary on the Treatise in centuries - reaches out to philosophers, theologians, social scientists, students, and general readers alike. Budziszewski shows how the Treatise facilitates a dialogue between author and reader. Explaining and expanding upon the text in light of modern philosophical developments, he expounds this work of the great thinker not by diminishing his reasoning, but by amplifying it.

Historically, natural law has played a pivotal role in Christian approaches to the law, and a contested role in legal philosophy generally. However, comparative study of natural law across global Christian traditions is largely neglected. This book provides not only the history of natural law ideas across mainstream Christian traditions worldwide, but also an ecumenical comparison of the contemporary natural law positions of different traditions. Its focus is not solely theoretical: it tests the practical utility of natural law by exploring its use in the legal systems of the churches studied. Alongside analysis of the assumptions underlying the concept, it also proposes a jurisprudence of Christian law itself. With chapters written by distinguished lawyers and theologians across the world, this book is designed for those studying and teaching law or theology, those who practice and study ecumenism, and those involved in the practice of church law.

Fruit de la collaboration interdisciplinaire associant des juristes, des historiens, des canonistes et des théologiens, français comme étrangers, ce volume aborde les multiples facettes des relations d'autorité entretenues tant au sein de l'institution ecclésiale qu'entre les princes et les clercs à l'époque moderne. Les approches sont nombreuses qui permettent de saisir ces dialogues riches et nuancés tenus par ceux qui servent tout à la fois monarchie et pouvoir spirituel. Formulation de normes juridiques subtiles, souvent susceptibles d'exceptions ; invention d'un pragmatisme sous l'empire des circonstances. Telle est la réalité quotidienne, politique, religieuse, sociale, et telles sont les relations entre les divers degrés de la hiérarchie ecclésiastique ou avec les monarques souverains. La modernité connaît le phénomène conjugué de la centralisation pontificale et de la centralisation monarchique, en pleine croissance, parallèlement à l'essor d'une sécularisation dans laquelle spirituel et temporel s'affirment, voire s'affrontent, en deux sphères bien distinctes. Roi, ministres, parlement, doctrines politiques séculières ; pape, évêques, curés, religieux, orientations canoniques ; inspirés par la raison d'État ou celle d'Église, tous président ensemble aux destinées des populations. Leur coexistence et l'harmonie de leurs actions, pour être désirées et même idéalisées, ont-elles toujours résisté à l'épreuve de l'histoire ?
