Training that equips law students to integrate theology and law for human flourishing.
Articulating the deeper “why” behind legal doctrines and examining where existing doctrines fall short and require reconsideration.
Engagement through dialogue, debate, and symposia addressing pressing legal questions.
Law does not exist in a vacuum. Every legal system rests upon moral assumptions about human nature, authority, justice, equality, and the common good. The question is never whether law has theological or metaphysical roots—but which ones.
Drawing on the logic of passages such as Epistle to the Romans (1:18–32), the Center recognizes a crucial principle: defective theology produces defective ethics, which in turn shapes defective public norms. If our understanding of ultimate reality is distorted, our legal doctrines will inevitably reflect that distortion.
Accordingly, the Center intentionally affirms the Lordship of Christ over all of life—including law and public justice. Only by acknowledging transcendent truth can law be robustly grounded, coherently justified, and rightly ordered toward human flourishing.
