“A brilliant plea for why positive law needs to be taken to its end in order to reach justice. This book sets the stage for fruitful conversations between theologians and legal scholars. A crucial contribution to the discussion of political theology and philosophical anarchism.”

"Providing a controversial response to the contentious relationship between law and human flourishing, this book will stimulate discussion among scholars of legal theory, the philosophy of law, political theology, ethics, religious studies, and religious law."

"This is an inspiring and timely book that arrives at a moment when hope and utopian thinking are urgently needed. Drawing on a compelling interpretation of the classical jurisprudential canon, it offers an original perspective on the role of law at the intersection of jurisprudence, political theology, and intellectual history." -
