Introduction: Toward A Christian Theory of Law

Series Overview:
Our culture is the most law-saturated culture in history.
Christians have often been at the forefront of law reform efforts, both at a general level and with specific moral issues. In these sessions we will wrestle with the proper relationship between God's law and American secular law. We will begin by developing a scriptural perspective on the role of secular law and by considering alternative approaches such as theonomy and the insights of Abraham Kuyper. We then will use these insights to explore abortion, gay marriage, gambling, corporate ethics and other current legal issues.

These sessions were taught as a Sunday School class at Tenth Presbyterian Church by members of Tenth who practice or teach law.

Session Overview:
This is the first session in a series of 12, entitled 'Introduction: Towards a Christian Theory of Law' taught by University of Pennsylvania Law professor Dr. David Skeel.

There are a few short gaps in this session about 51 minutes in to the audio, but this does not affect the key teaching.
