Simon P. Kennedy offers an intellectual contribution of exceptionally high merit. By offering a nuanced and historically well-grounded analysis, demonstrates convincingly how natural law thinking in the early modern period first coincided with and then became unmoored from Protestant thought. Reforming the Law of Nature should effect a fundamental change in the way in which we recount the history of European natural law theory.
