A new and unique overview of the Constitution, Courts, and Culture War
This course has ended, but we are offering a new course.
View Upcoming CourseWHAT is the perspective of this class?
It reflects the liberal arts, Trivium model. Our approach is Biblically-based, culture-confronting, worldview-structured, and multi-disciplinary. The allegorical title pictures – with extraordinary clarity – America’s Culture War as a polemic, climactic court-style conflict. Madison represents the Judeo-Christian worldview of law and the Constitution; Langdell represents the Humanistic. This overview defines and defends the Madisonian side.
