Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics
Hearty congratulations to Acton’s own Stephen J. Grabill, whose latest book Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics has been published by Eerdmans.Grabill makes a case for reintegrating Reformed Protestant theology with natural law. He appeals to Reformation and post-Reformation era theologians such as John Calvin, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Johannes Althusius, and Francis Turretin, who carried over and refined the traditional understanding of this key doctrine.
