This is the inaugural episode in our Topical series. Given all the tension in the world today, we thought we'd start with a relatively uncontroversial topic... like religion! Given the breadth of the topic, the episode is broken down into three videos. 

Part I. sets the stage by examining the concept of divine, as opposed to mortal, law. Many societies across the planet point to divine sources as the basis of the rules which regulate the behaviour of their members. Part II. considers how divine law has managed to survive from one generation to the next. We look at "God's helpers", a common element in many religions since time immemorial. Finally, Part III. concludes by examining three main approaches to addressing competition between divine and mortal law: state religion, prohibition of religion, and secularism.

The Living Law® Topical Series is aimed at viewers more interested in overarching topics rather than a deep dive of specific countries or regions. The latter are covered in the Living Law® Nations series.
