Articles by Steven Grosby
Law and its Development in the Talmud
Of course, the Hebrew Bible is known in Christianity, not only the Old Testament, part of the Christian canon, but also because, if all references to it were eliminated from the Gospels, little would left of them. The Hebrew Bible is also known in Islam, for sections of the Qur’an are drawn, with significant modifications, from it, for example, the accounts of Moses (Musa) and Joseph (Yusuf).
Religious Liberty, Natural Law, and Liberalism
There is a pressing need to reconsider one of the rights protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, the free exercise of religion, and manifestly so ever since the 1879 Supreme Court decision of Reynolds v. United States that upheld the prosecution of Mormons for bigamy in the then territory of Utah.
Henry Home, Legal Historian Par Excellence
The latest volume in the Liberty Fund’s series of writings by Henry Home, edited and with an Introduction by James A. Harris, will be a most welcome and valuable contribution to the library of anyone who has an interest in the history of law and, specifically, the place of property and its relation to liberty in that history.
What Is a Traitor?: The Glorious (and Ruinous) Life of Alcibiades
The life of Alcibiades (452-404 BC) understandably fascinated his contemporaries. He appears, for example, in Plato’s dialogues Gorgias, Protagoras, and Symposium (there are also two other dialogues, First and Second Alcibiades, but Plato’s authorship is doubted); Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War; Xenophon’s Hellenica and Memorabilia; and Aristophanes’ The Acharnians, The Birds, The Frogs, and The Banqueters.
America: The Israel of Our Time
Is there something special or unique about the United States and its culture? There are assuredly economic, geographical, and geopolitical reasons for America’s rise to power. No one denies those reasons. But has that rise been for a special purpose? Many have thought that it has. To take one possibility, there is the belief in an American exceptionalism of one kind or another, such as the idea that the United States is the cradle of liberty.
Why Freedom Is a Legal Concept - Law & Liberty
The king will have a copy of the law written for him . . . It will remain with him and he will read it all his life . . . to observe faithfully all the words of the law. –Deuteronomy 17:18-19 You shall not render an unfair decision: do not favor the poor or show deference to the rich; judge your fellow countrymen fairly. –Leviticus 19:15 You shall have one law for the non-Israelite who lives permanently with you (in your land) and the native-born in the land (the Israelite).
Conversation 8: Philanthropy and Human Action
It is not as if profound complications in our understanding of human action have not been long recognized; we surely understand that human motivations are so complicated that our pursuits appear at times to be contradictory.
STEVEN GROSBY: The rule of law has biblical roots
Many today read the Bible as the word of God. For those who do, the Bible is a living work, a book that speaks directly to us, guiding our beliefs and actions. For those who do not read the Bible that way, it nonetheless remains a work that has contributed significantly to our culture and civilization. Many Europeans and Americans from the 16th through the 18th centuries turned to the Old Testament to understand what a nation devoted to liberty should look like.
