EP1 The Biblical Roots of Western Law | God & Government

We often assume that “equality before the law” is a modern secular invention. Yet the historical record points to a far deeper origin. Where did the revolutionary idea emerge that even a king stands subject to the law? In this episode, we examine the intellectual foundations of Western justice by comparing the Magna Carta with the ancient legal texts of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Through this historical analysis, we explore how Hebraic law helped shape the conceptual architecture of constitutional government, human rights, and the rule of law. Join us as we trace the lineage of justice from Mount Sinai to the modern Supreme Court, uncovering how the concept of a transcendent “Higher Law” became a foundational safeguard against political absolutism.
