Review
"These elegant essays offer a bold and bracing new understanding of the province and power of authority in Scripture and tradition, conscience and community, church and state -- as well as a sage rebuke of the growing numbers of authoritarians and antimomians among us." -- John Witte, Jr. in Emory University
"In an era in which authority seems to be slipping away (or to be emerging in the pathological form of authoritarianism) this welcome volume gives us ten distinguished authors addressing from their distinct perspectives the nature of authority, its loss, and its perversion, topics that are crucial not only to the law, but to the legitimacy of the social order itself." -- James Boyd White, The University of Michigan

Product Description
All phases of our social life depend on authority; without it, families, schools, corporations, churches, and civil governments would cease to exist, and human life with them. "Civilizing Authority" explores the essential commonalities of authority across the spectrum of human living; it also probes the risk that authoritarian abuse will arrive to compensate for the elusiveness of genuine authority in a post-Christian, materialist world.
