| | John Murray’s Reformulation of the Covenant of Grace |
 | | Murray says, “As we shall see, the gracious, promissory character of covenant cannot be over-accented.”[10] As a matter of fact, this is the over-arching problem with Murray’s entire position, and the crux of his thesis. | | | Murray has taken the post-diluvian Noahic covenant and has defined it as a redemptive covenant when it is not. | | | Murray then approaches the arena of the divine covenants by way of the post-diluvian Noahic covenant. |

| | Murray explains that the nature is God interacts with the people, but the people do not interact with God. | | | Murray answers these questions by first explaining that God's name is a paradox in the Old Testament, in that it was meant to be a mystery, yet God has "given himself to be known and named by men" (Murray 19). | | | Of these four theologians, John Courtney Murray, SJ was the sole American Catholic theologian whose contributions to the church lie chiefly in the area of religious liberty and religious tolerance. |

| | John Courtney Murray and the American Catholic Experience |
| | Murray thus challenged the conservative assumption that the desired establishment of a Catholic state religion is necessarily a religious act, that is, a matter of faith. | | | Murray considered these two drafts to be "simplistic and inadequate," since the "rights of conscience" argument by liberals found no clear tradition in the church, and therefor could not be made the sole basis for a conciliar document. | | | Murray's outlook on religion and freedom was developed largely from the focal point of political theory, but was greatly influenced as well by an increasingly ecumenical spirit present in a post-war period threatened by growing secularism. |

| | LT33 - John Courtney Murray - A Reliable Interpreter of Dignitatis Humanae? |
| | Murray affirms (a hundred years later, but still well before "the consummation of the world") that in fact there is no such perpetual, divinely-imposed obligation, then the 19th-century Pope and the 20th-century theologian cannot both be right. | | | Murray's argument amounts to little more than the claim that the universal Church should endorse his view of the State's very limited religious role mainly because at present this also happens to be the view of a great many other people - especially in the liberal, secularized societies of Western Europe and North America. | | | Murray's denials that government is "competent" to "assume the care of religious truth," to "inquire into the theological credentials of any religious body," and so on, are obviously correct if we understand them in a certain sense. |

| | John Courtney Murray: Theologian in Conflict |
| | John Courtney Murray, S.J., has been called the most important theologian ever produced by the American Catholic Church. | | | But in all cases, Murray emerges as a complete gentleman, loyal, obedient, and a son of the Church. | | | On one level this book records the tumultuous culmination of an epic struggle within Catholicism, as the Church came gradually to the admission that individual freedom is an unalienable right, not to be overridden by the demands of any one religious system. |

| | The Catholic Church & The Liberal Tradition - John Courtney Murray, Contraception, and the "Liberal Catholic" ... |
| | Murray was also well known for his book We Hold These Truths: Catholic Reflections on the American Proposition, in which he meditated on the compatability of Catholic doctrine with the thought of America's Founding Fathers, particularly with respect to the First Amendment. | | | Jesuit John Courtney Murray famously persuaded the bishops assembled at the Second Vatican Council to stand for religious freedom. | | | A parallel development, even among those favoring the traditional teaching on birth control, was a new set of distinctions between what was permissible in the public realm and what was permissible within the confessional. |

| | Murray takes exception to this by saying that alienation is not purely humanity's alienation from God, but also God's holy alienation from us as a result of our sin and that this holy alienation must also be addressed in order for genuine reconciliation to be possible. | | | It is also the section where Murray puts forward the somewhat controversial doctrine of divine alienation, which says that the reconciling act of the atonement did much more to address God's holy alienation from us than it did to address our alienation from God. | | | This is the section where Murray argues that monergistic regeneration precedes faith and makes a faith response on our part possible. |

| | Does John Courtney Murray’s Defense of Freedom Extend to Economics? An Austrian Perspective |
| | Murray, a theologian, places more emphasis on the objective, God-given value of man, and by doing so, arrives at a divine origin of human dignity and, hence, a theological argument for freedom. | | | This also means that there is a certain natural autonomy to human beings, and even though no one is morally permitted to be culpably wrong in his or her beliefs, politically human beings are to be secure in their conscience from coercion in the natural realm. | | | In practical terms, this decree meant that the days of official State religion were over if, by “official State religion” was meant the prohibition of the public or private practice of other faiths, or even, one would suppose, the supporting of any religion by taxing those who do not adhere to its tenets. |

| | Book Review: John Courtney Murray and the American Civil Conversation |
| | This renewed interest derives at least partly from the perception that our society is now riven by disputes over issues that were precisely Murray's concern-religious liberty, the role of religion in a democracy, relations of church to state, the moral bases of American society. | | | IN AN EQUALLY lucid essay dealing with religious liberty, Gerard V. Bradley takes issue with Murray's well-known description of the religion clauses of the First Amendment as "Articles of Peace" rather than "Articles of Faith." In Murray's analysis, the clauses depend on no prior religious suppositions, and are void of religious content. | | | Not only are the issues profound, but Murray's thinking about them developed and changed over the years. |

| | Admittedly, the communication between the two fetuses was miraculous, for it was not natural that such a communication take place, but it had its source in a fact attested many times in the Old Testament; that is, a life, distinct from the mother's, existing in her womb. | | | But the very grounds given for that right to freedom implicitly assert the other right affirmed by traditional doctrine: the Church's divinely guaranteed right to be recognized by all human authorities and powers as the true religion. | | | The Catholic, Apostolic, Roman religion continues to be the religion of the Dominican Nation and will enjoy the rights and prerogatives which pertain to it in conformity with Divine Law and Canon Law. |
