The first three sections are wonderfully researched, quite enjoyable. The Fourth Part, thus far, rests on (what I would argue) is a misunderstanding of purgatory as developed from the 5th and 11th century. His argument about the development of penal and civil law seems to rest on what I would argue is a misunderstanding. But I am not so sure yet of that, as I have not finished the section. Stimulating book thus far.

Not particularly sanguine about part 4. His linkage of purgatory and the development of legal rule-like thought lacks sufficient endnotes evidencing any consensus on his interpretation of the medieval purgatory doctrine. Nevertheless, I was particularly interested in his bridge of St. Anselm’s satisfaction atonement doctrine to western “satisfaction” of victim’s in criminal law. He seems off on purgatory.
