Praise for the Print Edition

As I was serving a young and growing congregation serious about studying ethics, this book became my primary resource. . . . [Dr. Davis’s] comprehensive learning, accessible language, and unswerving commitment to the authority of Scripture is evident on every page. . . . Every thoughtful Christian will want to keep this book close at hand.

I am delighted that John J. Davis’s Evangelical Ethics is appearing again in a new edition. I have used the text in my classes for years. I admire its faithfulness to Scripture and Reformed theology and its power to stimulate good discussion. . . . I recommend the book highly.
