A Reply To Professor Beck, Jason Carter
A Reply To Professor Beck, Jason Carter
Georgia Law Review
The 2004 election reinvigorated the debate about Christianity's role in our nation's lawmaking. The election saw increased polarization between the secular left, and the politicized Christian right.' Evangelical Protestants voted overwhelmingly for the Republican candidate, George W. Bush, while the most secular voters voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry.2 The 2004 election emboldened the Christian right. In addition to what they believed was their crucial role in President Bush's victory, the Christian right celebrated the passage of constitutional amendments banning gay marriage in all eleven states where such amendments were on the ballot.? One leader of the Christian right stated that …
Toward A Genuine Debate About Morals, Religion, Politics, And Law: Why America Needs A Christian Response To The "Christian" Right, Jason Carter
Georgia Law Review
America's current debate about religion's role in politics offers a false choice. On one side is the politicized Christian right.' This group, loosely defined, consists of those political groups and leaders who associate themselves with traditional conservative ideas on culture and claim to represent fundamentalist or evangelical Christians. This group has been by far the most vocal advocate of the position that religion deserves an increased role in our nation's policy making. Indeed, it has come to dominate that position. The response to the Christian right has come almost exclusively from the secular left. It argues not with the Christian …
The City Of God And The Cities Of Men: A Response To Jason Carter, Randy Beck
The City Of God And The Cities Of Men: A Response To Jason Carter, Randy Beck
Georgia Law Review
Jason initially considers and rejects philosophical positions that call for citizens to put aside their religious beliefs when they participate in the political sphere.' He advocates, instead, the freedom to live a "religiously integrated existence" in all areas of life, including political life. Here, Jason reminds me of another Carter-Professor Stephen L. Carter of the Yale Law School. In The Culture of Disbelief, Professor Carter contends that "[in our sensible zeal to keep religion from dominating our politics, we have created a political and legal culture that presses the religiously faithful to be other than themselves, to act publicly, and …

Restorative Justice, Slavery And The American Soul, A Policy-Oriented Approach To The Question Of Slavery Reparations By The United States, Michael F. Blevins
ExpressO
This LL.M. Intercultural Human Rights thesis (May, 2005), awarded the best student paper prize for 2005 by the Institute of Policy Sciences at Yale University (in October, 2005), after analysing past and curent issues regarding the culture wars controversy of "reparations", proposes a specific process for establishing Truth and Reconciliation regarding the legacy of slavery in the United States. The proposal recommends commissions in each Federal judicial district under the supervision of a U.S. Slavery Justice and Reconciliation Commission (USSJRC), calling for "America's 21st Century Contract with Africa and African-Americans".
Resurrection From Babel: The Cultural, Political, And Legal Status Of Christian Communities In Lebanon And Syria And Their Prospects For The Future, Alexandra R. Harrington
Resurrection From Babel: The Cultural, Political, And Legal Status Of Christian Communities In Lebanon And Syria And Their Prospects For The Future, Alexandra R. Harrington
ExpressO
In the well-known Biblical story, the faithful, attempting to create a place of unity for themselves, set about building the Tower of Babel, only to see the Tower implode due to linguistic differences and power assertions. Thousands of years later, the world is still plagued by sectarian strife and warfare. Indeed, the situation has only become more involved since Babel, as there are now inter-communal and intra-communal conflicts for supremacy and superiority – a notable difference in these conflicts is that the ultimate tool of getting to Heaven is no longer a tower, it is now a state. Within the …

Christian Faith And Political Life: A Pre- And Post-Election Dialogue, Jason Carter, Randy Beck
Christian Faith And Political Life: A Pre- And Post-Election Dialogue, Jason Carter, Randy Beck
ExpressO
The 2004 presidential election has generated a wide-ranging discussion of the role of religion in public life. Well before the election, Jason Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, anticipated the difficulties the political left would experience in attracting the votes of theologically conservative Christians. In a paper initially drafted for a Spring 2004 law school seminar, Mr. Carter called for a genuine dialogue about political implications of the Christian faith, designed to overcome the country's unhealthy polarization between a religious right and a secular left. In light of the election results, Prof. Randy Beck suggested that Mr. Carter's seminar …
Rhetorical Holy War: Polygamy, Homosexuality, And The Paradox Of Community And Autonomy, Gregory C. Pingree
Rhetorical Holy War: Polygamy, Homosexuality, And The Paradox Of Community And Autonomy, Gregory C. Pingree
ExpressO
The article explores the rhetorical strategies deployed in both legal and cultural narratives of Mormon polygamy in nineteenth-century America. It demonstrates how an understanding of that unique communal experience, and the narratives by which it was represented, informs the classic paradox of community and autonomy – the tension between the collective and the individual. The article concludes by using the Mormon polygamy analysis to illuminate a contemporary social situation that underscores the paradox of community and autonomy – homosexuality and the so-called culture wars over family values and the meaning of marriage.

Understanding Islam And The Radicals, David F. Forte
Understanding Islam And The Radicals, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The United States is in a war, but it is not a war between Islam and the West. Radical Islamic terrorists hijacked four airplanes and killed thousands of innocent Americans on September 11. But their enmity was not just directed against the United States and the civilization it represents. These terrorists also mean, as President Bush made clear in his speech to the Joint Session of Congress recently, to hijack Islam itself and destroy Islamic civilization. In the developing battle on behalf of these two great civilizations, it is imperative that we understand something about the basic traditions of Islam …
Mother Of All Rights: Making The World Safe For Religion, David F. Forte
Mother Of All Rights: Making The World Safe For Religion, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Freedom of religion is not just one right among many. It is, in the words of the Islamic scholar John Kelsay, "the mother of all rights." When a state recognizes religious liberty, it ipso facto allows people the right to worship an authority higher than the state. Congress should insist that before any reconstruction aid is approved for Afghanistan, the new government there should affirm legal protection for basic human rights, including most importantly, freedom of religion.
Law, Ethics, And Religion In The Public Square: Principles Of Restraint And Withdrawal, Samuel J. Levine
Law, Ethics, And Religion In The Public Square: Principles Of Restraint And Withdrawal, Samuel J. Levine
Scholarly Works
In recent years, scholars have begun to recognize and discuss the profound questions that arise in attempting to determine the place of religion in the law and the legal profession. This discussion has emerged on at least two separate yet related levels. On one level, scholars have debated the place of religion in various segments of the public sphere, including law and politics. On a second level, lawyers have expressed the aim to place their professional values and obligations in the context of their overriding religious obligations. This article explores, from both an ethical and jurisprudential perspective, the question of …
Christians V. Crystal Evangelical Free Church: Interpreting Rfra In The Battle Among God, The Government, And The Bankruptcy Code, Susan Franck
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
In keeping with their religious traditions as devout Protestants, Bruce and Nancy Young regularly gave to their church in New Hope, Minnesota. From February 1991 to February 1992, the Youngs tithed $13,450 to their church.' Unfortunately-due to financial difficulties--the Youngs filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 1992. Because the Youngs tithed the $13,450 while insolvent, the bankruptcy trustee for their estate initiated a proceeding to void the transfers and return the contributions to the estate.

Religious Liberty And Democratic Politics, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
Some time ago, President Clinton talked to a gathering of religious journalists about abortion. He said that he did not believe that the biblical passages often cited by those who are "pro-life" indicate· clearly that abortion is wrong and should be prohibited. The reasons many people have for wanting abortion to be prohibited, or for allowing abortion, relate to their religious convictions. These people, for the most part, regard it as perfectly appropriate that religious perspectives help determine public policy on abortion in the United States. Others object. They say that the religious views of some people should not be …

'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore
'Peace: A Gift Of God, A Human Task': Toward A Liberation Theology For Northern Ireland, David Miles Moore
Honors Theses
PREFACE: I would have to cite the five months I spent in Cork, Ireland as the biggest motivating factor behind this paper. I knew next to nothing about Northern Ireland before this period. Soon after my arrival in Cork, however, I became fascinated with the socio-religious anomaly to the north of me. Since I became a religion major at Colby, I have always been interested in liberation theology. As I read about the poverty, injustice and violence that pervades Northern Ireland, I was reminded of the context in which Gustavo Gutierrez, Tissa Balasuriya, and Elsa Tamez write and live. The …
