Las leyes estatales y federales no desaparecieron, pero se hicieron más silenciosas: suaves sugerencias que apenas se oían en la espesura del pueblo. Los osos, en cambio, eran cada vez más visibles.

Grounded in the hope and realism of the gospel, their evangelical natural law theory is deep in moral conviction yet oriented toward practical political decision-making. Relevant to all dimensions of political life, they show how an evangelical natural law framework can speak into debates about the economy, family life and marriage, violence and war, and religious freedom.
