Conclusion; Concluding Reflections; Index 330 $aThis timely book offers a theistic approach to secular legal systems and demonstrates that these systems are neither agnostic nor atheist. Critical but succinct in its approach, this book focuses on an extensive range of liberal legal approaches to religious and moral issues and subjects them to critical scrutiny from a secular perspective. Expertly written by a leading scholar, the author offers a rare combination of profundity of ideas and simplicity of expression. It is a ringing defense of the theistic conception of secular legal systems and an uncompromising attack on the agnostic and atheist conception. 410 0$aLaw and Christianity. 517 3 $aGod & the Secular Legal System 606 $aReligion and law 606 $aJurisprudence 615 0$aReligion and law. 615 0$aJurisprudence. 676 $a201.72 700 $aDomingo$b Rafael$f1963-$0259701 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136754403321 996 $aGod and the secular legal system$92581468 997 $aUNINA
