Welcome to the website of Prof. David Opderbeck. I teach law at Seton Hall University Law School in New Jersey. In addition to my legal training, I’m trained as a theologian. This page contains information about my legal scholarship, theological scholarship, books, and other materials.

My first book, Law and Theology: Classic Questions and Contemporary Perspectives, was published by Fortress Press in 2019. Here are a few of the book’s endorsements:

“This volume offers an authoritative and accessible tour of natural law and positive law from the garden of Eden to the latest machinations of the United States Supreme Court. David W. Opderbeck brings both theological discernment and legal acumen to bear on the weightier matters of the law, on the quotidian questions of legal practice, and on the current cultural battles over sexual liberty and religious liberty. Judicious, candid, briskly paced, and cogently argued, this book deserves a wide readership.” –John Witte Jr., Emory University

“I know of no other book like this. Opderbeck develops a constructive theology of law that draws upon his deep knowledge of theology and the theory and practice of law. He offers substantive reflection on God’s being and attributes, superbly navigating the various controversies such reflection brings, for the purpose of constructing a theology of law that makes a significant contribution to moral and political theology. The breadth of knowledge is impressive. The masterful attempt to reconcile Christianity’s nonviolent ethics with law is a joy to observe. But this is only the first part of this splendid work. The second applies his theology of law in the US context, showing its relevance to the pharmaceutical industry, the lingering effects of slavery and racism, and much more. Opderbeck has set the standard by which all other attempts to address law theologically will be judged.” –D. Stephen Long, Cary M. Maguire University Professor of Ethics, Southern Methodist University

“Simultaneously lawyer, theologian, and law professor, David W. Opderbeck is a wise and expert guide into the fascinating nexus of theology and law. From Genesis to Revelation, Clement to Cone, natural law to positive law, Brown v. Board of Education to the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, usury to pharmaceutical product regulation, theory to praxis, Opderbeck covers immense ground and convincingly demonstrates along the way that a proper understanding of God’s mission can (and ought to) guide everything from how one lives and votes to how one litigates–even if one should–and why. The end is a vision of Christian life amid theology, law, and mission that is marked by patience and hope.” –Brent A. Strawn, Professor of Old Testament, Duke University, and Senior Fellow, Center for the Study of Law and Religion, Emory University
