Biblical Law & Political Science
Biblical law is a fundamental aspect of religion as it often involves the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of scriptural laws and commandments.
The concept of biblical law is closely tied to a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of tradition, hierarchy, and the organic development of society, which can include the preservation and application of religious laws. Scientific socialism, as a political ideology, generally rejects the notion of biblical law and other forms of religious influence on the political and social order, favoring a secular, rational, and materialist approach to governance.
