It won the 1966 Pulitzer Prize for History.[1][2][3] Miller writing about "Evangelical Basis" (Book one), "The Legal Mentality" (Book two), "Science" (Book three).[4] Book three was incomplete.

The Evangelical Basis has generated the most influence.[5] The Legal Mentality has been relatively neglected.[6] The sublime is present through the book. Nature against law and the law's independence are especially relevant of the second book.
