Is Higher Law Common Law?: Readings on the Influence of Christian Thought in Anglo-American Law

by Jeffrey A. Brauch

The common law still forms much of the basis of our law today. The book's thesis is that common law once was based on a particular view of the world; that there was such a thing as truth; that it was possible to say that some things were true & others false; that some things were right & others wrong. The text is filled with excerpts from books, articles, & cases written by some of the greatest minds that have shaped our legal system.
