David VanDrunen’s Natural Law: A Short Companion outlines what Scripture teaches about natural law. Scripture never uses the term “natural law,” but it repeatedly refers to the reality of natural law or assumes its existence. The existence of natural law underlies what Scripture says about God’s own nature, the cosmic order, the image of God, human community, the gospel of Christ, and the final judgment. Moreover, the story of Scripture from the original creation to the new creation wouldn’t hold together without natural law. Through this work, readers should come to know their Bibles better and know God better.

An indirect response to Darwin's landmark work "On the Origin of Species," Drummond shows that faith and science actually go more hand in hand than most of us as theologians are willing to accept. By going over the facts of science, Drummond is able to show how the two relate so that we can reconcile our Christian beliefs in the world that is obsessed with the Scientific Method.

David VanDrunen's new monograph, A Biblical Case for Natural Law, is a must read for Christians who are perplexed about the biblical standing of natural law. It makes a biblical case for the existence and practical importance of natural law. Through his examination of the redemptive-historical context of natural law, professor VanDrunen is helping to shift debate away from the badly caricatured doctrine of sola scriptura toward a fuller understanding of the biblical theology underlying natural law. As Protestants rediscover the biblical basis for natural law and the doctrinal resources of their own theological traditions, we can recover a sense of our catholicity with the broader and older Christian moral tradition. - Stephen Grabill, ActonInstitute PowerBlog.
