Divine law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divine law is any law (or rule) that in the opinion of believers, comes directly from the will of God (or a god), such as from the Bible in Christianity or in Islam the Qur'an from Allah himself, etcetera.
Like natural law (which may be seen as a manifestation of divine law) it is independent of the will of man, who cannot change it. However it may be revealed or not, so it changes in human perception in time through new revelation (e.g. the New Testament after the Old (mosaic law), the Qur'an claiming to be a third manifested version of the same divine will), or at least its interpretation evolves.
