Eve Without Adam: What Genesis Can Teach America About The Natural Law, David F. Forte
Eve Without Adam: What Genesis Can Teach America About The Natural Law, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
I wish to make but three points. First, I want to discuss something of the history of the alliance between faith and reason in Western intellectual history and their estrangement. Second, by referring to some of the elements of the Book of Genesis, I would like to affirm the basic compatibility between the principles of natural law and the values of our religious heritage. Finally, I raise a caution regarding religious doctrine and liberty that any effective and principled alliance between faith and reason must deal with.

Challenges In Judging: Some Insights From The Writings Of Moses, Gordon J. Beggs
Challenges In Judging: Some Insights From The Writings Of Moses, Gordon J. Beggs
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
I would like to use the writings of Moses as a lens to examine some challenges in judging. Moses authored the first five books of the Old Testament known as the Pentateuch or books of the law--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. He is probably best known for leading the Hebrew people out of bondage in Egypt and for receiving the Ten Commandments. As our discussion today will reveal, he may also be credited with authoring some significant principles with respect to the judicial function.
