Although it is increasingly common to speak of “civil marriage,” that label falls far short of capturing the complexities of marriage.

Indeed, within the United States, even many prominent evangelical Christian churches and leaders have sparingly started to use the language of human rights despite earlier misgivings. While there has been important academic discussion concerning the foundational role of Christian theology for the modern human rights regime, and literature disc…

As a staunch Calvinist, Zubly believed firmly in both the rule of law and the democratic process. He served as a voice of reason and moderation both to the British and to his fellow Georgians.
