Ministers of the Law A Natural Law Theory of
Legal Authority (Emory University Studies in Law
and Religion (EUSLR)) Paperback â October 21,
2010
In Ministers of the Law Jean Porter articulates
a theory of legal authority derived from the
natural law tradition. 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 extralegal authority without
compromising the independence and integrity of
the law. Yet Porter does more in this volume than
simply discuss historical and theoretical realms
of natural law. She carries the theory into
application to contemporary legal issues,
bringing objective normative structures to
contemporary Western societies suspicious of such
concepts.
