520 |a Table talks have long been a familiar genre of writing for jurists, theologians, politicians, and novelists. In this little volume, leading law and religion scholar John Witte offers thirty sage reflections on how to thrive in law school and in the legal profession; short commentaries on controversial matters of faith, freedom, and family; pithy sermons on difficult biblical texts about law and justice; and touching tributes to a few of his fallen heroes. Most of the thirty texts gathered here were made at seminar tables, academic roundtables, editorial tables, and Eucharist tables. Cast in avuncular form, these texts probe what makes life worth living, work worth doing, history worth reading, and Scripture worth heeding. They aim to provide inspiration and edification for readers at different stages of their lives. 
520 |a Tischgespräche sind seit langem ein vertrautes Genre unter Juristen, Theologen, Politikern und Romanautoren. In diesem kleinen Band bietet der führende Rechts- und Religionswissenschaftler John Witte dreißig weise Betrachtungen darüber, wie man im Jurastudium und im Anwaltsberuf erfolgreich sein kann; kurze Kommentare zu kontroversen Fragen des Glaubens, der Freiheit und der Familie; prägnante Predigten zu schwierigen Bibeltexten über Recht und Gerechtigkeit; und berührende Hommagen an einige seiner gefallenen Helden. Die meisten der dreißig hier versammelten Texte entstanden an Seminartischen, akademischen Rundtischgesprächen, Redaktionstischen und Abendmahlstischen. In onkelhafter Form verfasst, gehen diese Texte der Frage nach, was das Leben lebenswert, die Arbeit tunswert, die Geschichte lesenswert und die Heilige Schrift beachtenswert macht. Sie sollen Lesern in verschiedenen Lebensphasen Inspiration und Erbauung bieten. [Mit KI übersetzt]
