Should be required reading for every lawyer who professes to be a Christian or a person of faith. The law profession has lost its way in America. As a result, persons of faith who practice law often pay a heavy price in their personal and professional lives. Society as well pays a heavy price.

While this book is primarily directed to Christians who are lawyers or planning to become lawyers, it is a good read for anyone because of the analysis of the doctrine of vocation. Schutt notes that many Christians believe they can only serve God in their work if they become missionaries or pastors, but this is wrong. He explains a Biblical understanding of how people can serve God in their work. Thus while the book is mainly about how to be a Christian in the legal profession, people planning o

This is a superb book. Michael Schutt has put Christian lawyers in his debt. This is a must-read book for all Christian lawyers and perhaps more importantly for their pastors.
He shows that a Christian lawyer, contrary to popular opinion, is not an oxymoron.
The book is in three main parts: the lost lawyer; integrity; and integrity in practice. In the first Schutt exposes the jettosoning of the law's moorings in the Christian faith to be replaced by a form of instrumentalism . More...

A marvellous book written by an author that holds his own with Schaeffer, Piper and Lewis. Michae Schutt was a former law school professor of mine. I recently had the opportunity to share the podium with him in addressing the current Regent University school of law student body. The subject matter of his speech, as well as our private conversations, compelled me to purchase his book, "Redeeming Law." Given the title and subject matter, the tome may be of greater interest to those e

Redeeming Law aids the Christian lawyer in transforming his view of his practice. Its best quality is emphasizing that work (vocation) is serving Christ and our neighbors; it is not distinct from "Christian ministry" within the local church. Our calling as lawyers must be integrated with the other aspects of our lives -- our callings as husbands, fathers, and church members. We serve and love God and our neighbors by doing our work in a biblical way and with a biblical mindset. The boo

Mike Schutt pulls no punches in this provocative and inspiring challenge to those of us lawyers who claim to be followers of Christ. While undergirded by faithful optimism, this isn't some shallow feel-good book offering easy answers. To the contrary, Schutt calls Christian attorneys to a comprehensive and thoroughly transformative model of redemptive legal thinking.
