How do we reason about ethical and political questions that Scripture does not directly address? And why do so many Christians feel ill-equipped to make the case for Christian ethics in public life without simply quoting the Bible at people who don't accept its authority?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe answer, Benjamin Saunders argues, has been available since the church's earliest theologians--and Protestants have been too quick to abandon it. Natural law recognizes that because God created this world, we should expect to find moral order within it: an order that is accessible to reason, confirmed by Scripture, and capable of providing a basis for ethical and political reasoning that all people--regardless of their faith commitments--can engage with honestly. Because as Paul makes clear in Romans 1, they already know it. They just suppress it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten at a level that all Christians can understand, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecovering Natural Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e draws from the history of Christian political thought to provide a rich, accessible resource for thinking about ethics, law, and government.
