Christian Contract Law and the Morality of the Market: A Historical PerspectiveMonday 11th October (1st week)- 4:00pm
Prof Wim Decock is Professor of Legal history at the Universities of Louvain and Liege in Belgium.
Modern lawyers have been accustomed to thinking of law, morality, and religion separately. It has become odd and even undesirable to think of religious authorities as experts in legal matters. This lecture will argue that the first systematic and substantive doctrines of contract were developed not by lawyers, but by canonists and moral theologians. This lecture serves as the capstone of the inaugral colloqium of the Pusey Centre for Theology, Law & Culture. To attend, contact: jonathan.price@stx.ox.ac.uk |
