Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theological Works of the Most Reverend John Sharp, D.D., Late Archbishop of York, Vol. 2 of 5
III. Having thus given an account of the rule of conscience, that which naturally follows next to be considered, with reference to our present design, is, what share human laws have in this rule of con science; whether they be a part of this rule, and do really bind a man's conscience to the observance of them, or no? Which is our third general head.
Now as to this our answer is, that though the laws of God be the great, and indeed the only rule of conscience, yet the laws of men, generally speak ing, do also bind the conscience, and are a part of its rule, in a secondary sense; that is, by virtue of and in subordination to the laws of God.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of conscience, the rule we use to guide our actions, and how we determine which laws we must obey. The author explores the role of human laws in relation to divine law, focusing specifically on the obligation to participate in church communion as established by law. The author argues that while human laws do not have inherent authority over conscience, they do bind the conscience when they are in accordance with divine law. However, if a law contradicts divine law, we must disobey it, even if that means breaking the human law. This work provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between conscience, law, and religious obligation, offering insights that remain relevant to contemporary debates on religious freedom and the limits of state authority. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243388936_0
