There's a new quote on the sidebar, from the book I'm currently reading, which is also listed there:
Politics and law [are] not paths to grace and faith, but grace and faith [remain] paths to right politics and right law. The Christian [is] supposed to be law-abiding, and the law of a Christian prince [is] supposed to achieve both order and justice. Law [is] supposed to induce people to avoid evil, to cooperate, and to serve the community. The Christian [is] not to think that by doing good he [can] earn credits in heaven; nevertheless, he [is] to use his will and reason - with full consciousness of their defective nature - to do as much good as God as made possible. --Harold J. Berman
