How does one lead a life of law, love, and freedom? This inquiry
has very deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the
divergent answers to this inquiry mark the transition from Judeo to
Christian. This book returns to those roots to trace the twists and
turns that these ideas have taken as they move from the sacred to
the secular. It relates our most important mode of social
organization, law, to two of our most cherished values, love and
freedom. In this book, Joshua Neoh sketches the moral vision that
underlies our modern legal order and traces our secular legal ideas
(constitutionalism versus anarchism) to their theological origins
(monasticism versus antinomianism). Law, Love, and Freedom brings
together a diverse cast of characters, including Paul and Luther,
Augustine and Aquinas, monks and Gnostics, and constitutionalists
and anarchists. This book is valuable to any lawyers, philosophers,
theologians and historians, who are interested in law as a
humanistic discipline.
