Leland J. White--a biographical sketch.Dr. Leland J. White's research interests were in two areas: the relationship between religion and culture and the U.S. value system as expressed in law. His agenda was set during his theological studies in Rome from 1962 to 1966, where he witnessed the Second Vatican' Council in its entirety. At the Council, Catholics from across the globe with the generous help and advice of leaders and scholars of many religious traditions attempted to reinterpret re·in·ter·pret tr.v. re·in·ter·pret·ed, re·in·ter·pret·ing, re·in·ter·prets To interpret again or anew. re Catholic thinking and practice to the needs of the contemporary world. A primary victory achieved at the council was the Vatican's first recognition of the fundamental human right to religious freedom long established in U.S. culture. Implicit in this reversal of medieval teaching was the recognition that culture is inevitably a major factor in religious understanding and teaching. To investigate culture across cultural lines, cross-culturally, Dr. White followed paths set by the social sciences, principally cultural anthropology. To pinpoint the major features of U.S. culture, and the American value system, he looked for the data embedded in U.S. law and legal traditions. At the College of Charleston The College of Charleston (CofC) is a public university located in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The College was founded in 1770 and chartered in 1785, making it the oldest college or university in South Carolina, the 13th oldest institution of higher learning in during Maymester and summer sessions since 1994, Dr. White taught a course on religion and society, focusing on how religion and society interact in U.S. life as exemplified in the role of religion in the marketplace and in law. At St. John's University (New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of ), since 1982, Professor Leland J. White taught a variety of courses in which he interpreted religious thought and life in the framework of the culture from which they come or in which they are found. He showed, for example, how Mediterranean assumptions about persons and societies are embedded in the source materials for Christianity and how many European assumptions govern commonly cited modern materials. The objective of his courses was to enable contemporary U.S. students, for example, to identify U.S. assumptions and cultural patterns and thus rethink and reapply Re`ap`ply´ v. t. & i. 1.
