Harold Bermans masterwork narrates the interaction of evolution and revolution in the development of Western law. This new volume explores two successive transformations of the Western legal tradition under the impact of the sixteenthcentury German Reformation and the seventeenthcentury English Revolution, with particular emphasis on Lutheran and Calvinist influences. Berman examines the farreaching consequences of these apocalyptic political and social upheavals on the systems of legal philosophy, legal science, criminal law, civil and economic law, and social law in Germany and England and throughout Europe as a whole.Berman challenges both conventional approaches to legal history, which have neglected the religious foundations of Western legal systems, and standard social theory, which has paid insufficient attention to the communitarian dimensions of early modern economic law, including corporation law and social welfare.Clearly written and cogently argued, this longawaited, magisterial work is a major contribution to an understanding of the relationship of law to Western belief systems.
