Faith freedom and family together form the bedrock of a good life and a just society. But
this foundation has suffered seismic shocks from vibrant religious pluralism profound
political changes and new conceptions of marriage. This volume retrieves the major legal and
theological teachings that have shaped these institutions and suggests ways to strengthen and
integrate them anew. Part I highlights the work of several scholars of law and religion who
have defined and defended the place of faith in law politics and society. Part II documents
the development of freedom in the West and parries the attacks of skeptics of modern rights.
Part III reaffirms the family as a cornerstone of faith and freedom historically and today
even while defending some modern marital reforms. Opening essays by the editors and closing
interviews of the author place Witte's work in biographical and intellectual context and map
some of the new frontiers and challenges of faith freedom and family around the globe.
