Customer Reviews

A thoughtful and well researched volume.

This book is a must read for any person who would desire to understand the importance of Law and particularly for the Christian. John begins with a discussion of how God's Law, as recorded in the pages of the Bible in the Old and New Testament and Creation, is the only proper basis for Man's laws. He also discusses how God's Law gives authority to and limits the laws of men and how to apply that law to everyday situations of today.Further, John discuses how the American Constitution reflected these ideas and how far we have departed from the precepts written therein. Though it may sound simplistic to many, John argues strongly that the majority of our present day problems can be traced directly to that departure.This book would be helpful for the person who professes no particular religious preference to better understand how the Chrisian "should" think about and act toward the Law. I say how the Christian "should" think because sadly in our day far to many people who claim to be, and many that are, Christians have forgotten how to "think" let alone act as a Christian should.
