Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics by Stephen J. Grabill
In what was be described as not your "Purpose Driven Life" type of reading by a friend of mine, Stephen J. Grabill has written a deep theological overview of the developments of Natural Law traditions from early Catholic to modern thought on natural law. Natural Law is the concept that man can come to a knowledge of God through his natural sense, as opposed to Divine intervention. Catholic theology surrounding this law and it's effect on moral theology appeared to have been roundly rejected during the reformation. In his research Mr. Grabill has found that this is not so and has culled the writings of the reformers and theologians to discover where they did or did not diverge.
From Aquinas to Barth to Turretin, the author offers thorough research and convincing arguments for the "catholicity" of many Protestant theological positions regarding the natural knowledge of God.
I highly recommend this book for those with an interest in church history, theology and the current dialogue between churches.
