Books by Robert A. Burt

In a remarkably innovative reconstruction of constitutional history, Robert Burt traces the controversy over judicial supremacy back to the founding fathers.

In this bold exploration of the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, Burt shows that God's authority is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government. He paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples.
