Abstract	:	The purpose of the study is to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize Oliver O'Donovan's and Carl F. H. Henry's positions on natural law and its role in their proposals for how Christians are to think politically. How these two theologians formulate and either accept or reject natural law will shape their proposals for a Christian political theology. This study offers a preliminary proposal for the place of natural law in Protestant political thought that borrows insights from both of these theologians. Henry (1913-2003) and O'Donovan (1945-) were chosen because of(l) their work in Christian moral and political theory, (2) their advocacy for Christian political engagement, (3) their special attention to natural law theorizing about such engagement, ( 4) and their distinctly theological paradigm for sociopolitical engagement grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
