Religion and rights
John Witte has written a book that is profoundly in touch with the intractable issues in U.S. public life and in that of the West generally. Professor of law and ethics at the Emory University School of Law and director of its Center for the Study of Law and Religion, Witte takes what he calls a binocular view of religion and law, respecting them as distinct enterprises that are nevertheless very much in need of each other and inescapably intertwined in the history of Western public culture.
