His book Political Centrist (2009) defends a centrist approach to political issues.[1][5] In 2016, Hill authored After the Natural Law: How the Classical Worldview Supports Our Modern Moral and Political Values which argues that legal, moral and political principles such as freedom, human dignity and personal responsibility require a foundation in natural law.[1][6][7]
