Bray and Miller on Christianity and Equity

Samuel L. Bray and Paul B. Miller, Notre Dame Law School, have posted Christianity and Equity, which is forthcoming in Oxford Handbook of Christianity and Law:

In this chapter for the Oxford Handbook of Christianity and Law, we survey the line of development of equity from Aristotle to the chancellors of the English Court of Chancery. In between, we trace equity through Roman law, the New Testament, scholastic theology, canon law, and the Magisterial Reformation. We conclude by noting ways in which contemporary law still bears the imprint, even if faint, of classical and Christian sources of the equity tradition.
