1. Hugo Grotius

Author

Oosterhuis, J., Decock, Wim, Oosterhuis, Janwillem, Foundations and methods of Law, RS: FdR Institute M-EPLI, and RS: FdR IC Verbint/contractenrecht

Subjects
Legal history, Basic Areas of Law: Other, Christianity, k19 - Basic Areas of Law: Other, Netherlands
Abstract

What impact has Christianity had on law and policies in the Lowlands from the eleventh century through the end of the twentieth century? Taking the gradual 'secularization' of European legal culture as a framework, this volume explores the lives and times of twenty legal scholars and professionals to study the historical impact of the Christian faith on legal and political life in the Low Countries. The process whereby Christian belief systems gradually lost their impact on the regulation of secular affairs passed through several stages, not in the least the Protestant Reformation, which led to the separation of the Low Countries in a Protestant North and a Catholic South in the first place. The contributions take up general issues such as the relationship between justice and mercy, Christianity and politics as well as more technical topics of state-church law, criminal law and social policy.

Abstract

In textbooks on international law, Grotius's I De iure belli ac pacis i is frequently cited as proof of the Protestant origins of international law. Grotius, after all, did not only write juridical works, but also major theological treatises.[7] He was a theologian as much as a lawyer.[8] Waszink's subtle, short but important wake-up call can be read as an invitation to try to go beyond traditional narratives and concentrate on what mattered to Grotius himself. As a matter of fact, Astorri indicates in his contribution that Lutheran theologians in the German area were eager to study Hugo Grotius as an alternative to Pufendorf, whom they considered as threatening in many regards.[21] Major Lutheran theologians such as Johann Adam Osiander, who taught at Tübingen in the second half of the seventeenth century and counted many Swedish youngsters among his students, engaged intensely with Grotius's I De iure belli ac pacis i . 28 S. Penner, "Making Use of the Testimonies: Suárez and Grotius on Natural Law", I infra i . 29 C. Stumpf, 'Consent and the Ethics of International Law - Revising Grotius's System of States in a Secular Setting', I infra i . 30 B. [Extracted from the article]
