'Neoh's work is characterised by the successful weaving of different sources or even genres. It is comfortable with analytical jurisprudence and biblical commentary; it moves between conceptual analysis and narrative. For some, this will no doubt appear to be strange - what do Athens and Jerusalem have to say to one another? But the connections are fertile and revealing ... Neoh has provided us with a rich, stimulating, provocative, and insightful book to guide us through questions both ancient and contemporary.' Joel Harrison, Jurisprudence 'The political and legal implications of Taylor's (admittedly sometimes elusive) account of modernity are still being spelled out, and Neoh's book is a welcome effort in that regard. Notwithstanding the reservations voiced along the way above, academic books often aim too narrowly and so it is a welcome change to review a book that aims so broadly.' Michael P. Moreland, The American Journal of Jurisprudence 'This is bold and vigorous work, which in broad strokes seeks to capture the central elements of European legal culture. It surveys a remarkably broad sweep of literature and in doing so captures well the ambivalence we feel about law.' Julian Rivers, Cambridge Law Journal
