The Law of Freedom

“Daniel Rentfro’s book, The Law of Freedom, is a valuable contribution to the renaissance of new literature revisiting the intersection between law and religion. Building upon the tradition of Thomas Aquinas and Thomas Hooker, Rentfro focuses on how equity jurisprudence functions theologically as an expression of Pauline Christian freedom. This book is a must-read for the growing number of lawyers interested in the relationship between God, ethics, and law.”


—William J. Chriss, legal historian, ethicist, and author of The Noble Lawyer





“Rentfro lifts up an often overlooked legal and theological concept, dusts it off, and makes it accessible and timely. The book invites readers to consider the interplay of justice, mercy, and the common good through legal, religious, and philosophical lenses. The author makes his case persuasively that the neglect of equity harms not only the practicing attorney, but society as a whole.”


—David Reed, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas
