Ministers of the law: a natural law theory..

---

Dr. Porter has given us another gem. She succiently and carefully argues that the natural law tradition illustrated by Gratian and Aquinas make a good case for our own view of legal authority. This book shows Dr. Porter's growing interest in how the legal system can benefit from looking back to the scholastics to enrich and strengthen what it means to follow legal authority based on the highest standards of human flourishing. She weaves the work of theologians and legal philophers to state her case. Nobody argues as clearly and cogently as Jean Porter. However, be warned, this is not a beach read or an easy text to skim through. It demands careful reading and much reflection to get to the core of her arguments. But you will be glad you kept with it as you won't easily find a more intelligent, exceptionally fine writer as Dr. Porter. Truly a fine addition to a very worthy subject.
