Reviews

Divine Justice remains a fascinating, stimulating and pioneering study. Its path-breaking approach opens new perspectives for legal specialists, and will surely contribute to the intensification of dialogue between legal studies and other disciplines. - Claude Chevaleyre, The China Journal, No.63 The particular attraction of this book is not the conclusions, but the data, which has been gathered both extensively and intensively. Each chapter provides interest and challenge. I can confidently predict that the book will be well-cited, because future scholars in the field cannot avoid Katz's work. Scholars may agree or disagree with his conclusions, but they will read the chapters with care, and then build on the work he has done. - Roderick O'Brien; Chinese Cross Currents
