The Sins of the Fathers: The Law and Theology of Illegitimacy Reconsidered
Witte, Jr, John (Emory University, Atlanta)
Witte analyzes the shifting laws and logics of illegitimacy in the Western tradition offering an incisive critique of this historical doctrine and its renewed expression among neo-conservatives in church and state. Illegitimacy doctrine, he argues, misinterprets several biblical texts and disregards cardinal Christian teachings of individual accountability and Christian community.
