Product Information
For nearly two millennia, Western law visited the sins of fathers and mothers upon their illegitimate children, subjecting them to systematic discrimination and deprivation. The graver the sins of their parents, the further these children fell in social standing and legal protection. While some reformers have sought to better the plight of illegitimate children, only in recent decades has illegitimacy lost its full legal sting. Yet the social, economic, and psychological costs of illegitimacy still remain high even in the liberal, affluent West. John Witte analyzes and critiques the shifting historical law and theology of illegitimacy. This doctrine, he argues, misinterprets basic biblical teachings on individual accountability and Christian community. It also betrays basic democratic principles of equality, dignity, and natural rights of all. There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents, Witte concludes, and he presses for the protection and rights of all children, regardless of their birth status.

Reviews
'Witte, one of the world's foremost thinkers on law and religion, has now produced this authoritative investigation of the often deeply disturbing history of illegitimacy in the Western world. It is not only grounded in rigorous scholarship and perceptive theology but also offers wise reflections on how civil responsibility, adoption and the institution of marriage might contribute more to the welfare of children today.' David F. Ford, University of Cambridge, 'Witte's book provides a short but comprehensive account of the history of illegitimacy. it is a well-written and welcome addition ot the literature on the subject.' The Journal of Church History, "Witte, one of the world's foremost thinkers on law and religion, has now produced this authoritative investigation of the often deeply disturbing history of illegitimacy in the Western world. It is not only grounded in rigorous scholarship and perceptive theology but also offers wise reflections on how civil responsibility, adoption and the institution of marriage might contribute more to the welfare of children today." --David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, 'The extensive bibliography is testament to the interest in this subject and Witte's detailed research of the evolution of laws governing illegitimates will appeal to lawyers, sociologists and historians. His clear, factual yet sensitive approach makes this book an easy read. The principal reform proposed in this work is the new thinking Witte seeks to bring to bear on the area, aptly expressed in his phrase: 'before the judgement seat of God, there will be no class actions, and no joint or vicarious liability for which the individual soul must answer.' Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 'John Witte has done it again! Sins of the Fathers demonstrates what his readers always expect from him: painstaking historical research, lucid presentation, plus jurisprudential and theological gravitas. But here we see even more: the profound humanity of this man, born of his familial experience, and revealed in the book's moving dedication, which gives us the leitmotif of this exceptional work.' David Novak, University of Toronto, 'This little book is a large achievement. It exemplifies the modern ideal of scholarship complexly interdisciplinary, masterfully cross-cultural, lavishly learned, startlingly insightful, movingly personal, lucidly argued, and luminously written.' Carl E. Schneider, Chauncey Stillman Professor of Law and Professor of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan, 'Witte, one of the world's foremost thinkers on law and religion, has now produced this authoritative investigation of the often deeply disturbing history of illegitimacy in the Western world.
