?At a time when Christianity is being pushed out of the public square, Dr Zimmermann?s latest book is a timely and important antidote to the modern myth that our common law rights emerged from thin air or was a gift from international bodies like the United Nations. In fact, as Dr Zimmermann?s historical analysis reveals, the reason we have a public square is that of early English legal developments driven by theologians and Christian jurists. Dr Zimmermann has yet again made an important contribution to the legal literature which should be required reading by all first year law students (as well as the lecturers!)?. --Morgan Begg, Research Fellow, Institute of Public Affairs (Melbourne)
