The final chapters of the book address one such horizon—that the theoretical fulcrum of the natural law lies not in its perceptual self-evidence or in its immanent secularity; but rather in its subtle provision of an immanent eschatology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471304245484,"sku":"9780567716972","price":187.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780567716972-natural-law-the-secular-mythos.jpg?v=1775237462","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/natural-law-the-secular-mythos-by-rev-dr-gregory-morgan-9780567716972","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
