Uncovers the relationship between early modern natural law ideas and secular conceptions of politics.

Reforming the Law of Nature is a stimulating study of the development of natural law ideas in the early modern period, uncovering their connection to conceptions of the origins of politics. It brings sixteenth and seventeenth century jurisprudence, theology and political philosophy into conversation with one another to uncover the ways in which developments in political thought affected the emergence of a secular understanding of political life.

Simon P. Kennedy is Senior Lecturer in Humanities at Christian Heritage College and the Director of the Millis Institute, in Brisbane, Queensland. He is also a Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Queensland. He researches the intersections between political ideas, law, and religion.
