520 | |a Political and legal theorists sometimes assign attempts to define the purpose of law and government into one of two categories: 'protectionism' indicates that law and government should protect people from the violation of their rights while <i>perfectionism</i> indicates that law and government should also actively promote virtue in the human community. In this essay I draw primarily from the biblical covenant with Noah (Gn 8:21-9:17), supplemented with other biblical and moral-theological considerations. I argue that protectionism, contrary to common assumptions, need not be individualist, subjectivist, or indifferent to the broader well-being of society. Furthermore, and chiefly, I argue that a strong (yet rebuttable) protectionist presumption ought to govern Christian ethical reflection upon the purpose of law and government. | ||
