Rezensionen

'This impressive volume probes several hard dialectics that have occupied Christianity from its biblical beginnings... The authors reflect both the hard-nosed realism of seasoned lawyers with the faith-based imagination of sincere believers. The authors toe no party line, herd no sacred cows, and trade in no naïve nostalgia... St. Paul, Martin Luther, and other titans take several hits... This is rigorous law and theology scholarship of a rare and refined sort.'
