The God Who Commands [Paperback]

"Richard Mouw probes, from a Calvinist tradition, the place of obedience to a divine command. . . . Mouw suggests that a Calvinist perspective on moral theology can profit from an openness to some contemporary developments, particularly narrativist ethics, feminist thought and the insights gained from the charismatic movement." --America

 

"Mouw's book is a valuable contribution to contemporary ethics by a scholar whose profound love for the God of revelation is evident on every page." --New Oxford Review
 

"This is an excellent book, astutely crafted and argued. Mouw has reintroduced divine command morality to contemporary Christian ethics, and his work should be central in the dialogue he encourages." --The Christian Century
