This book could have be subtitled "The Justification of Right and Wrong". It's a work of political theology, or political science. O'Donovan shows us how we can ever say, of anyone or anything, "this is right" or "this is wrong". He bases his arguments on a Biblical world view, where we are all, whether we like it or not, finally accountable to God. His basic point is that human judgments are a shadow, a reflection, of God's judgment upon us. I am persuaded by his arguments. My only complaint is that his style is unnecessarily dense and complex.
