The Law Above The Law

"The foundation of a republic is the virtue of its citizens. As the foundation is undermined, the structure is weakened. When it is destroyed, the fabric must fall."

We are well on the way to the fulfillment of this prophetic statement. When the level of public virtue falls, our interpretation of justice tends to modify downward. If, therefore, our only criterion for judging ethical action is the current collective conscience, we have no valid standard whatever, since that conscience is constantly being altered. Result: Our legal system is fast becoming the tool of public opinion. Is there an alternative?

Montgomery insists that modern men must begin once again to judge their behavior on the basis of God's revelation of right and wrong. In this little book he argues his case briefly but brilliantly, and conveys a sense of certainty that is both challenging and refreshing.
