The author regularly uses his book as a text for a 1L class at Regent Law, and I had the pleasure of taking that class last semester. The theory that man's law is based on God's law is fading fast from modern legal scholarship, but thankfully there ae those out there who still advocate natural law theories, despite th hostility that often brings.
Recall Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork were both critizized brutally for asserting that there just might be a higher power to bsse our laws on. Snyone who wants to understand why that idea is met with such emotion should read this. ..Higher Law?" traces legal and Christian thought from Aquines to modrrn day scholars like Posner. Modrrn perspectives of all stripes are addressed. This is a one of a kind book for anyone wishing to examine what makes the law of the law enfrceable. The law might not be so fluid afte all....
