The Williamsburg Charter
The recent celebration of the national holiday of Thanksgiving prompts me to make two comments about the Williamsburg Charter. The first is that the concept of a charter document providing cohesion for a community has its roots in Puritan theology. One can make light of this connection, as a cartoonist in the New Yorker did, depicting two of the Pilgrims standing on the deck of the Arabella, one telling the other: “Religious freedom is my main re…

The Supreme Court on Church and State
Religion and Public Life
Religion in public life is a significant issue at this moment in our history for at least three reasons. First, we are celebrating the bicentennial of our Constitution, with its commitment to removing religious tests for federal public offices, and we are looking forward to the bicentennial of the Bill of Rights, which enshrines religious freedom at the head of the liberties secured in the First Amendment. Second, we are the beneficiaries of a ri…

The reminiscences of Miep Gies, the woman who hid the Frank family in Amsterdam during the Second World War, presents a vivid story of life under Nazi occupation
Biblical Law and the First Year Curriculum of American Legal Education

Jesse Jackson continues to organize a “rainbow coalition” by the use of biblical rhetoric and when the Rev. Pat Robertson is considering a run for the Presidency to reassert the need…
Of Covenants Ancient and New
Professor Harold Berman has described the relationship between law and religion as an interaction, stating: “The principal affirmation is that law and religion are two different but interrelated aspects of social experience—in all societies, but especially in Western society, and still more especially in American society today. Despite the tensions between them, one cannot flourish without the other.” Berman illustrates his thesis largely by demo…
Trust Doctrines in Church Controversies
Biblical Religion and American Politics
In 1980, campaigns for political office from town councils to the White House were enlivened, if not always enlightened, by the vocal and sometimes strident participation of members of the clergy. The Rev. Jerry Falwell, pastor of the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, emerged as a significant figure in the 1980 campaign, not only as the spokesman of the Moral Majority, but as the symbolic leader of the conservative forces dubbed …
