According to Angelos Chaniotis and Rudolph F. Peters, divine laws are typically perceived as superior to man-made laws,[1][2] sometimes due to an assumption that their source has resources beyond human knowledge and human reason.
[2] According to Chaniotis, divine laws are noted for their apparent inflexibility.
[6] The introduction of interpretation into divine law is a controversial issue, since believers place high significance on adhering to the law precisely.
These opponents characterize such laws as belonging to a particular cultural tradition.
[10][a] Conflicts frequently arise between secular understandings of justice or morality and divine law.
