I'm very pleased to say that Spectre-Online are carrying a piece by myself on the historical context of secularisation and the Rule of Law. This was written in part as a response to the ideological battle being waged by the ruling powers over the place of religion in contemporary affairs which the maelstrom of ISIS and Islamic fundamentalism brings to a sharp point. It predominantly covers developments in Law in Medieval Western Christendom but includes some speculations regarding our contemporary situation too.
