2. The class appears to have had an impact on Shaffer as well. A few years later, he published On Being a Lawyer and a Christian. In the Afterword, he says:
I began this enterprise, and continue it, as a law teacher-nothing more than that, but nothing less. Not a word is written ex cathedra. How could it be? But every word is written because my students raise personal, confusing questions about being lawyers and Christians and Jews. My confusion was blessed, early on, by a group of law students at the University of Virginia, in 1975 and 1976. They were members of the Christian Law-Student Fellowship there and were enrolled in a group-study venture, in which I taught and learned, that was called law and religion. All of them are now about their professional apostolates; I think of them often as a special audience for what I write.
