Summary/Abstract: The origin of human nature is the foundation of human rights because it is considered that certain rights are inherent in the human being since creation. These rights are called the natural law that precedes the other rights and laws being universal having as source the Creator himself. How do different Christian traditions view the existence of natural law? What is the content of this natural right in understanding every Christian tradition? Norman Doe initiated an editorial project through which he offered the possibility to the representatives of the different Christian traditions to express their theological position and the practical implications towards the natural law. The result of this editorial project is in the book „Christianity and natural law: an introduction”. This article is a review of the book in order to shed light on the different perspectives of different Christian traditions on natural law and their implications for the internal and external life of the church.
