Reforming the Law of Nature: Natural Law in the Reformed Tradition and the Secularisation of Political Thought, 1532–1689 (First Edition)
Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2022. First Edition. Paperback. Rare scholarly insight into the roots of modern politics—now available in excellent used condition. In Reforming the Law of Nature, Simon P. Kennedy traces how Reformed Protestant natural law thinkers moved from viewing political community as part of God’s created order to treating it as a human artifice. Through close readings of Calvin, Hooker, Althusius, Hobbes, and Locke, the book reveals the desacralization of political life that helped shape secular liberalism. Essential for intellectual historians, political theorists, and anyone exploring the intersections of theology, law, and early modern political thought.
