Principles of Conduct

Principles of Conduct, first published in 1957, is in fact Murray's masterpiece. It is best read as an exploring and fleshing out, and thereby a testing and verifying, of three hermeneutical hypotheses: (1) that single, perfectly coherent divine-command ethic (the law of God) is taught from Genesis to Revelation, and thus remains in force from history's beginning to its anticipated end; (2) that the grace of God is intended not to lead away from, or beyond, a life of law-keeping, but precisely to enable sinners for it; (3) that law-keeping belongs to the purest expression of pure religion.

—J.I. Packer, Foreword to 'Principles of Conduct: Aspects of Biblical Ethics' by John Murray
