520 |a Legal theorists have long debated whether law originates from a single source (the actions of state officials) or from multiple sources (including the innumerable communities and associations that constitute broader civil society). In recent years, proponents have defended polycentrism-and its critics have tried to refute it-from various moral, economic, and historical angles. But no contemporary writer has examined polycentrism from a Christian perspective. In the absence of such a study heretofore, this article attempts to evaluate legal polycentrism from a Christian theological and jurisprudential perspective. The Christian scriptures and Christian theology do not directly address whether law is polycentric or monocentric. Nevertheless, appealing to a number of biblical-theological issues-including the image of God, the Noahic covenant (Genesis 8:21-9:17), wisdom, and the purpose of civil government-I argue that Christians have good reason to regard polycentrism as a more satisfactory view of law.
