Ellen Goodman uses extensive extracts from original writings to highlight the main themes of the Western legal tradition. The book has a clear focus on the heart of the tradition: constitutionalism, representative institutions, and rule by law. Goodman links Christianity to its origins in Greek philosophy & Judaism.
