Examining Legal-Moral Problems

Beard Books has reprinted Norman St. John-Stevas’ book entitled Life, Death and the Law: Law and Christian Morals in England and the United States (Beard Books 2001/12) (1961).  A description of the book is below:

After formulating some general principles governing the relationship between Christian morality and the law in England and the United States, particular controversial legal-moral problems are examined. These important subjects, still at the forefront today, include the control of conception, artificial insemination, human sterilization, homosexuality, suicide and euthanasia. The role that the state and the church should play in the formulation of legal policy is suggested.
