So, today’s episode is a little different from our usual format. Instead of an interview, today you’re going to hear a lecture recently hosted by Baylor’s Religion Department in collaboration with the J.M. Dawson Institute for Church State Studies.
The lecture was delivered by Dr Brett Scharffs. Dr. Scharffs is the Rex E. Lee Chair and Professor of Law and the director of the International Center for Law and Religion Studies at Brigham Young University. Dr. Scharffs is a highly regarded scholar, having served as chair for various sections of the Association of American Law Schools, holding editorial positions at esteemed journals, and writing field-making books.
In the lecture you’ll hear, Dr. Scharffs discusses human dignity, a topic perennially important, but of special interest this year because we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was proclaimed on December 10, 1948. The first article of the declaration states, "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
