hit or miss
Good book on ethics from a conservative Reformed perspective
Probably the best book on the subject The previous reviewer points out that this book is not necessarily difficult due to its contents -- I agree. What he fails to mention, although Packer's foreword includes the explanation, is that Murray is difficult to read because his prose is VERY poor. He is a great thinker, and is biblical and logical in his presentation, but he is a VERY bad writer. That is, the Prof. Strunk of "Strunk & White" would have given him an "F" in writing and rebuked him severely. This is not an unimportant point. As Packer correctly points out, if Murray had the ability to write as clearly as, say, C.S. Lewis, he would be much more widely-read. And really, his materials deserve to be more widely-read than Lewis. So, it is frustrating to see that his bad prose has limited his influence. Hopefully, more and more students will read his works and translate his thoughts into more understandable English for this generation. Again, my criticism here does not touch in the slightest degree Murray's thoughts, but only his prose. If you want to learn about biblcial ethics, and you should, then do not hesitate to buy this book. Read it slowly if you have problems with the prose, but read it all. It will give you a comprehensive and coherent view of what the Bible has to teach us on the subject. I would also recommend books by Gordon Clark and Vincent Cheung. Search the web for "trinity foundation" and "vincent cheung", and I think you will find them. Cheung's books are free for download.
Sound Biblical Theology The description on the back of the book mentions, "Though the Ten Commandments furnish the core of the biblical ethic, Murray points the reader again and again to all of Scripture as the basic authority in matters of Christian conduct."The Ten Commandments are not explicitly dealt with in this book, but the ethical considerations that begin in creation and continue through the time of Christ and His church are explained.The methodology of discovering God's continuing revelation to mankind is known as biblical theology and Murray is a model for Christian theologians in this method.Murray is showing that the Ten Commandments were not a new thing God decided to mention at Sinai, but are rooted in the nature of God's creation.The Ten Commandments were neither new at creation, nor did they cease to be valid after the coming of Jesus Christ.Through this understanding of the biblical ethic, we come into a deeper understanding of how we may obey God and how we can love His law (Psalm 119:97) as the ethic that God has given man to live by. I have always heard that Murray is a difficult read.Even Packer says in his Forward that Murray is considered by many to be "tough sledding."Personally, I did not think this book was that difficult to read.Though the implications are deep, Murray writes in a way that is so logical that it is very easy to understand.More than just logical, Murray is thoroughly biblical.I have found that his exegesis and use of biblical theology is rock solid.He thoroughly explains difficult passages in a way that is in solid agreement with the text itself. I also found this book to be encouraging and helpful in my walk with God.My mind was just not filled with general facts, but was genuinely spurred on to greater devotion to Christ.It is a motivating book for the Christian who needs to be reminded time and again that he or she has been set free from the bondage of sin and has been resurrected to obedience to Christ.It is helpful for the Christian who is struggling to formulate a biblical ethic on the issues of marriage, capital punishment, and labor.It is helpful for any Christian who wants to know how they can serve God better in their day-to-day life. ...

Editorial Review Book Description Born in 1804, John Murray Spear started his career as a Universalist minister. Later he was a close colleague of William Lloyd Garrison and Theodore Parker in the abolitionist movement, an operator on the underground railroad in Boston, an influential leader in the effort to end the death penalty and to reform prison conditions, and a public advocate of the causes of pacifism, women's rights, labor reform, and socialism. Buescher chronicles Spear's work as an activist among the New England reformers and Transcendentalists such as Bronson Alcott, Lydia Maria Child, and Dorothea Dix. In midlife Spear turned to the new revelation of spiritualism and came under the thrall of what he believed were spirit messages. Spear's spirits dictated that he and a small group of associates embark on plans for a perpetual motion machine, an electric ship propelled by psychic batteries, a vehicle that would levitate in the air, and a sewing machine that would work with no hands. As Buescher documents, Spear's spirit-guided efforts to harness technology to human liberation—sexual and otherwise—were far stranger than anyone outside his closest associates imagined, and were aimed at the eventual manufacturing of human beings and the improvement of the race. Buescher also examines the way in which Spear's story was minimized by his embarrassed fellow radicals. In the last years of his life, retired by the spirits and regarded by fellow Gilded Age progressives as a visitor from another age, if not another planet, Spear helped organize support for anarchist, socialist, peace, and labor causes. Spear's life, an odd mixture of comic absurdity and serious foreshadowing of the future, provides us with a unique perspective on nineteenth-century American religious and social life.

Very difficult book, maybe the summary below will help
Still nothing but a theory That being said, just because the idea of corporate solidarity can be derived from the Old Testament it does not mean that that principle is valid in the case of Adam.I think there are many dissimalarities between the two situations that would mittigate against strictly comparing the two.For instance, Israel was a nation that was called and chosen by God and that contained millions of citizens that defined it's existence as a nation.When Achan sinned against the Lord, it was said that Israel sinned and the whole nation suffered punishment.It was the people contemporaneous with Achan who were treated as trangessors and punished by God.In the case of Adam we are separeted by a vast expanse of time, and yet his sin is still somehow reckoned to be ours.The two situations just aren't similar enough to warrant a strict comparison. Second, using Romans 5 as a proof text to support the imputation of Adam's sin is interesting, but does suffer from some serious weaknesses.First, Paul's whole insistence on discussing the period from Adam to Moses in vs. 13-14 is unintelligible to Reformed exegetes.This digression from his starting point in verse 12 makes no sense, and the fact that he focuses on this group of people is even more disturbing.Reformed scholars have been unable to deal with Paul's references to sin that is "not like the sin of Adam" and the absence of law in this period.Another point that weakens this view is that Paul is constantly stressing the one act of obedience to the one act of disobedience.Reformed scholars say, well Paul's reference to Christ's obedience and our being made righteous by it must be referring to the imputation of Christ's righteousness to our account;They then say since he is comparing Adam to Christ, Adam's disobedience must be reckoned to our account just like Christ's righteousness. Yet, they overlook that Paul is referring to Jesus's one act of obedience and not to his lifelong, perfect obedience to the law.The traditional Reformed position is that Christ's perfect, lifelong obedience to the law is reckoned as our righteousness and thus we can stand as sinners justified before God.In Romans 5, Paul isn't speaking about Christ's perfect obedience to the entire law, but his one act of obedience that made the manyrighteous.Therefore, this verse can't be speaking about the imputation of Christ's righteousness in the standard Reformed sense, and thus the idea of the imputation of Adam's unrighteousness falls with it.I think John Chrysostom's view of this passage makes sense, in that he saw Paul trying to defend the effects of Christ's death against Jewish attacks.The Jews would ask, how can one man's obedience upon a tree make anybody righteous?Paul's answer to them was simple;He resorts in this passage by responding with a question to Jewish critics asking, how could one man's disobdience at a tree make many unrighteous.Since the Jewish critic obviously believed in the fall of Adam and it's disastrous effects on humanity, he would then have to recognize that Christ's obedient death on the cross could function in the way Paul said it does.Second, Paul's use of Greek terminology that speaks of being made righteous or made sinners does not facilitate a classic Reformed view.Murray tries to get around this by translating the Greek as constituted, thus playing off the double entendre;Constitute could describe the actual inner condition of something, or say something about how one perceives something to be.Nevertheless, the more accurate Greek rendering is made righteous and made sinners, and therefore Paul seems to be talking about something more than just a legal status. Lastly, this whole viewpoint stands or falls upon the assumption that Adam and God were both parties in a covenant of works in the Garden of Eden.There is absolutely no Scriptural proof that such a covenant even existed, and to read one into Genesis 2-3 requires some serious eisegesis.If there was no covenant of works than this theory falls flat on it's face.This book is a nice defense of the classic Reformed view of immediate imputation, but when the theory is examined under close scrutiny one discovers that it is nothing more than just that, a theory.
