Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-20 00:00:00 Mohamad Imran This is a second read for me. A great book by the leading thinker of 15th century, who later would influence Luther, Bruno, Milton and Locke. Philosophically, this book innovates because it's the first time we hear about the notion of agreement or consent of the subjects, which would later be inserted in the United States Declaration of Independence and in the 20th Century would be inserted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 21). All that said, this is one of those classic, short books every lawyer, theologian or legal historian should read. It's interesting and surprisingly current.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-11 00:00:00 C L Butterworth Likely a good book in general, but it was profoundly unhelpful for my purposes. Reese managed to fill several hundred pages and mention women perhaps four times - quite a feat, given that women religious significantly outnumbered their male counterparts until the turn of the century, and Reese was attempting an historical perspective. Oh well.
