Christian Legal Scholarship? Penn Law Professor David Skeel’s recent paper The Unbearable Lightness of Christian Legal Scholarship is a must-read if you are interested in how Christian faith relates to law and society. Skeel explains why there is a a dearth of Christian legal scholarship (partly the influence of legal positivism, partly the evangelical / fundamentalist withdrawal from society prior to the 1970’s), and argues for a Christian theory of law rooted in Kuyper’s notion of sphere sovereignty. In another paper, Christianity and the (Modest) Rule of Law, Skeel and Harvard Law professor William Stuntz contrast the “rule of law” in a civil democracy with the concept of God’s law as expressed in scripture.
