Reformed/Presbyterian Ethics

[New Englander]

I was wondering what folks thought were some of the best works in the field of ethics written by P&R theologians (esp. contemporary)?

Have read J J Davis' Evangelical Ethics, however I am hoping for something with a little bit more meat on the theological side.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so forgive me if it is out of place (and if an admin can move it, that'd be great).

Thanks, any feedback is appreciated!

Principles of Conduct: Aspects of Biblical Ethics by John Murray. You might also consider Theonomy in Christian Ethics by Dr. Greg Bahnsen. Whether you agree with him or not, you will be forced to think.

You might also read Thomas Watson's The Ten Commandments, Richard Baxter's A Christian Directory, and other such works.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Bahnsen (I forgot to mention I had read Murray)... and I'll have to find some time to get to Watson and Baxter too!

Don't miss Dutch Reformed theologian J. Douma's work on the Ten Commandments, as well as Christian Morals and Ethics and Responsible Conduct.

Chris beat me to Dr. Bahnsen. Didn't read that book; have his "College Course in Christian Ethics". Both can be found here:
