THE 616 The Christian Development of Law & Rights
Ancient notions of law and rights were transformed in the Christian ecclesial tradition in the twelfth century and have developed to the present day. However, this legacy is not without complications—historical, philosophical, and theological—and these complications impinge upon the Church’s moral vision for herself and the world. This course examines primary and secondary sources to understand the meanings of rights and law today from a Christian perspective. Classes may be taught in an in-class, hybrid, or online format and have set times that require virtual participation.
