• W112708002 abstract "I responded positively, even with enthusiasm, when John Inazu asked me if I would be open to a symposium on my work and the law. I am seventy-one. I need all the attention I can get before I die. That may not be put quite right. It may be that the attention I receive gives me the impression, an impression that may or may not be accurate, that I am not yet dead. So let me begin by thanking John for thinking of me and for the extraordinary symposium he has put together. I confess, however, that, at the time John first broached the idea of having such a symposium on my work and the law, I did not know what a challenge it would be for me. John makes the challenge clear in the subtitle of his foreword: that is, Is There Anything to Say? (1) That subtitle expresses perfectly my reaction when I began to realize that I would not know what to say if I had to write a paper on Hauerwas and the Law. I am, therefore, particularly grateful to those who have written these substantive papers; what they have to say is more interesting than what I would have been able to say if I had been left to my own devices. Indeed, they have raised so many questions about how my work may or may not have implications for the law there is no way I can do justice--a concept that has the ring of the law about it--to their papers. I suspect, in particular, there are interconnections between their papers that I should be able to articulate but that I may well have missed. I will simply have to trust--a word that I think extremely important for the subject before us--readers to make the connections in a more constructive way than I am able to do in this response. Before trying to respond to the individual papers, however, I thought it might be useful to say why and how I began to think about the law. By doing so, I hope my response to the individual papers might be more coherent. That the law has always been important for me may seem odd. After all, I am usually associated with those who began to emphasize the importance of the virtues as an alternative to ethics, which is more determined by analogy to the law. Of course I have never been happy with the assumption that an ethic of the virtues is somehow antithetical to, or exclusive of, law-like accounts of our moral lives. I have associated the idea that you must choose among a deontological, teleological, or virtue ethic with minds who think that typologies can be identified with thinking. It may seem odd, but I think my interest in the law began with my training to be a theologian. I was fortunate to begin my theological studies at Yale when the law-gospel dualism so characteristic of Protestant theology and ethics was beginning to be called into question. Being taught the Old Testament by Brevard Childs meant you learned to understand the law as a gift to the people of Israel so that God's holiness might be manifest to the world. In a similar fashion, I learned that the law played a much more positive role in Paul than the polemics of the Reformation would lead one to believe. These developments, moreover, had everything to do with a reconsideration of the significance of the continuing existence of the Jews, who allegedly were a people of the law, for the intelligibility of Christianity. Not unrelated to the reconsideration of the law in scriptural scholarship was the recognition by Protestants, or at least by me, that Roman Catholicism existed. Protestants had often made Catholics the Jews of Christianity; namely, they were thought to be hopeless legalists. With the advent of Vatican II, however, Protestants who worked in that strange field called Christian ethics began to pay attention to work done in Catholic moral theology. Aquinas's on Law (2)--and it is important to note that it is the Treatise on Law, not the Treatise on Natural Law--in the Summa Theologicae was read with fresh eyes. Some of us began to think that casuistry, when compared with vague Protestant suggestions about how we ought to love one another made by those enamored by situation ethics, was a very good thing. …" @default.
