The Law Above the Law

By John Warwick Montgomery

Book Overview

We are well on the way to the fulfillment of this prophetic statement. When the level of public virtue falls, our interpretation of justice tends to modify downward. If, therefore, our only criterion for judging ethical action is the current collective conscience, we have no valid standard whatever, since that conscience is constantly being altered. Result: Our legal system is fast becoming the tool of public opinion. Is there an alternative? Montgomery insists that modern men must begin once again to judge their behavior on the basis of God's revelation of right and wrong. In this little book he argues his case briefiy but brilliantly, and conveys a sense of certainty that is both challenging and refreshing.

Any Higher Foundation for Justice?

No wonder our legal system is in shambles. When a society allows its legal system to be the tool of public opinion, this is the result.Montgomery shows how the common law flowed out of another foundation, God's revelation of right and wrong.For all intents and purposes, we've junked that, turning to creative legal interpretation, which writes the law rather than interprets whats legislated.
