Reviews
"Professor McCall issues a clarion call to return to classical sources, most notable Thomas Aquinas, in order to evaluate and appreciate the essential role of natural law within the whole structure of the law." -- Ecclesiastical Law Journal, The Architecture of Law is worth reading. Those not immersed in the classical tradition will benefit from this introduction to some of its lesser-known themes... Those who know the tradition well will find in McCall's expression of it fresh and challenging glosses and close attention to its most vexing questions., "Drawing on the best resources of Roman law, classical canon law, Catholic theology, perennial philosophy, and positivist, historicist, and natural law jurisprudence, Brian McCall constructs a dynamic account of law that refuses to leave anything important out. Erudite yet unpretentious, this book is the modern jurisprudential equivalent of the greatest medieval cathedrals. Offering shelter to all, it appeals to our capacity to construct law that is worthy of our better angels, while never mistaking men-as-they-happen-to-be for angels." --Patrick Brennan, John F. Scarpa Chair in Catholic Legal Studies, Villanova University, "While committed opponents of traditional natural law nay not be convinced, McCall's presentation is nonetheless extremely lucid, clear and thought-provoking for those who have become uncomfortable with the supposedly self-evident principles of modern jurisprudence--principles which deny any real connection between law and morality and nature." -- Catholic Herald, While committed opponents of traditional natural law nay not be convinced, McCall's presentation is nonetheless extremely lucid, clear and thought-provoking for those who have become uncomfortable with the supposedly self-evident principles of modern jurisprudence--principles which deny any real connection between law and morality and nature., "The book is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is truly a tour de force that articulates and defends the classical understanding of natural law against detractors (and reformers) of both yesteryear and today. With this book, Brian McCall has established himself as, arguably, the leading natural law luminary in American legal academia." --Ronald J. Colombo, Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, ". . . a bold, thoughtful, and cogent defense of classical natural law theory and its relevance for the contemporary theory and practice of law. This book deserves wide attention from legal scholars as well as theologians and historians of law." -- Journal of Law and Religion, " The Architecture of Law makes a masterful contribution to constructive jurisprudence in the best tradition of the ongoing encounter between reason and Christian faith. Erudite yet unpretentious, insightful yet careful, McCall's account of human lawmaking starts at the beginning, where one should indeed start, and then gradually shows the reader exactly why law is correctly defined, pace most modern accounts, as a 'dialectic among reason, command, and custom.' This book offers a challenging, fascinating, but consistent journey for the reader. It is an outstanding piece of work." --Patrick McKinley Brennan, Villanova University, "[ The Architecture of Law ] is worth reading. Those not immersed in the classical tradition will benefit from this introduction to some of its lesser-known themes. . . . Those who know the tradition well will find in McCall's expression of it fresh and challenging glosses and close attention to its most vexing questions." -- Law and Liberty, "[ The Architecture of Law ] is worth reading. Those not immersed in the classical tradition will benefit from this introduction to some of its lesser-known themes... Those who know the tradition well will find in McCall's expression of it fresh and challenging glosses and close attention to its most vexing questions." -- Law and Liberty, The Architecture of Law makes a masterful contribution to constructive jurisprudence in the best tradition of the ongoing encounter between reason and Christian faith.
