PSCI 280 - Law and Western Culture
3 hours
This course examines the historical development of legal theory and the rule of law in Western culture from ancient times through the American Founders, including antecedents from the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, early Church, medieval period, Reformation and Renaissance, English common law, British colonial period, and early American Republic. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, the course basically traces the classical and Judeo-Christian roots of Western law and legal theory, focusing in particular on the natural or higher law background of the common law, the origins and growth of liberty of conscience, the inherent tension between maintaining order and promoting liberty in a democracy, the role of religion in a free society, and the delicate task of reconciling a commitment to religious freedom, while also insuring an institutional separation between church and state. It is recommended that students pursuing the legal studies minor take PSCI 290 - Law, Justice, and Culture Institute in place of this course. UG

PSCI 290 - Law, Justice, and Culture Institute
3 hours
Sponsored by the Center for Law and Culture at Olivet Nazarene University, the Law, Justice and Culture Institute is an exciting academic experience held at Olivet during its May-term. The Institute is approved as a three-credit course in Olivet’s curriculum and therefore leads to credit for students visiting from other schools in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), as well as those visiting from institutions not in the CCCU. Thus far, 14 Council institutions have formally endorsed the LJC Institute. The Institute’s purpose is to inspire students to serve God faithfully in public life, particularly in the strategic fields of law, government, and politics, by providing worldview instruction in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Students are introduced to the concept of transcendent moral truth in the Western legal tradition and challenged to integrate the biblical understanding of justice into their lives and career callings. In addition, by exploring the concept of law and justice among the ancient Hebrews, the natural law foundations of the United States Constitution, and the grand legal issues posed by Nazism and the Nuremberg Trial, students begin to formulate a Christian jurisprudence. Prerequisite(s): Recommended PSCI 220 . UG
