Great Christian Jurists in English History comprises biographical portraits of leading jurists and judges assessing the influence of their Christianity.
'Great Christian Jurists presents a fascinating diversity in the interaction between faith and law, dependent among other things on the person's character and temperament, as well as the relevant historical context. Perhaps, therefore, the key lesson of the book is that the relationship between Christianity and law in a person's life is a complex one, not susceptible of one single authorized mode of expression. Faith can be expressed in more than one legitimate way and it would be inappropriate to attempt to contrive a single model or blueprint. The volume succeeds in providing a helpful overview of the life and contributions made by leading Christian jurists, and makes a welcome contribution to the Cambridge Studies in Law and Christianity series.' Benjamin B. Saunders, Reading Religion
