Natural law;: An introduction to legal philosophy ([Hutchinson's university library]: Philosophy)

This is the classic study of the history and continuing philosophical values of the law of nature. D'Entrves discerned three distinct sources that have contributed to the development of natural law: Roman law teachings, Christian beliefs regarding law, and egalitarian and revolutionary theories of the Enlightenment. Now regarded as a classic work, Natural Law has exercised considerable influence over the course of Anglo-American legal theory in the past forty years.
