Conscience And Law

Conscience and Law: Or A Discussion of Our Comparative Responsibility to Human and Divine Government is a book written by William Weston Patton in 1850. The book explores the relationship between conscience and the law, and the responsibilities of individuals to both human and divine governments. Patton argues that while human laws are important for maintaining order and justice in society, individuals must also follow their own conscience and moral principles, which are guided by divine law. The book discusses various ethical and moral dilemmas, such as the conflict between obeying civil laws and following one's conscience, and the responsibility of individuals to speak out against unjust laws. Patton also examines the role of religion in shaping moral values and the impact of secularism on society. Overall, Conscience and Law offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between individual conscience, human law, and divine law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
