Whenever the church has succeeded in gaining what most American evangelicals are now trying to get - political power - it has been disastrous...

As she points out, the legal authority of most traditions rests on their own internal structures, independent of extralegal considerations -- legal houses built on sand, as it were. Natural law tradition, on the other hand, offers a basis for legal authority that goes beyond mere arbitrary commands or social conventions, offering some...
