God's Joust, God's Justice: Law and Religion in the Western Tradition

Christian Century,  May 1, 2007  by Robin Lovin

God's Joust, God's Justice: Law and Religion in the Western Tradition. By John Witte Jr. (Eerdmans, 512 pp., $30.00 paperback.) Whereas Browning and Stalnaker develop new approaches to the study of Christian ethics, Witte demonstrates the value of thorough knowledge of familiar material. In topical essays dealing with human rights, American history and the family, Witte traces the development of Western thought about religion and law, concentrating on the period from the Reformation to the present. There is much in this volume that clergy, lawyers and political activists should discuss together.

Selected by Robin Lovin, who teaches at Southern Methodist University.
