Natural law has long been a cornerstone of Christian political thought; providing moral norms that ground law in a shareable account of human goods and obligations. Despite this history; twentieth and twenty-first-century evangelicals have proved quite reticent to embrace natural law; casting it as a relic of scholastic Roman Catholicism that underestimates the import of scripture and the division between Christians and non-Christians. As recent critics have noted; this reluctance has posed significant problems for the coherence and completeness of evangelical political reflections. Responding to evangelically-minded thinkers’ increasing calls for a re-engagement with natural law; this volume explores the problems and prospects attending evangelical rapprochement with natural law. Many of the chapters are optimistic about an evangelical re-appropriation of natural law; but note ways in which evangelical commitments might lend distinctive shape to this engagement.

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. An excellent and compact reviewBy James MishraA lot of AP review books are massive--they cover a lot of material. I have never been able to read one of those cover to cover.If you want a small; easy to carry book that contains a wealth of information (but limits itself to the most important information); then this is the book for you.The only downside is that this book may not cover the topics in the same order as your textbook may have; but this is still an excellent review for the final AP World test.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Helped me get a 5By O. MehtaThis book was really helpful for me. Although I did pretty well throughout the whole school year; I felt that I forgot most of the material by the time the AP Exam was close. I bought this book on a whim; read it twice. and crammed a week and a half before the exam. I just got the scores back a few days ago and the score I recieved on the exam was . I was seriously shocked; I thought that I would get a at most! I would seriously recommend this "Crash Course" Series. I also wanted to mention that I took the AP Euro test as well and reviewed the AP Euro Crash course. I felt like I knew less Euro than I did world; but studying this book helped me get a 4. I highly recommend these books for review.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. practice tests inaccessableBy Timothy P.
