Ah, yes! That is one of my favorite topics of discussion with those those outside the faith, too. I actually used one of my craft talks at a secular networking group recently to discuss that phrase in the Declaration of Independence, "unalienable ri…
I agree with Robert, the three theories are three things that are Christ-like and that we should see all Christian lawyers doing. But do we really believe that simply being an excellent lawyer brings glory to God? I think perhaps we don't see our ca…
I think the biggest trap into which we can fall is the following: we become apathetic about our vocation. Discovery, paperwork, depositions for some corporate giant, motions, etc. etc. on some useless, obscure issue that nobody really cares about ca…
The challenge with posting this early in the reading is that thus far the book is primarily expounding on the problems and only hinting at the solutions, but I will take the opportunity to I.D. a "problem" of my own which I have already uncovered. I…

It strengthened my desire to have a stronger view of law as a vocation, and to have a better understanding of the connection between the common law and the natural law.
