A Practical Exposition of the Ten Commandments, by James Durham, ed. Chris Coldwell

This review examines James Durham's seventeenth-century exposition of the Ten Commandments, which presents a Reformed perspective on the law that emphasizes both redemption and grateful obedience without false dichotomy. Durham's practical treatment addresses not merely external behavior but the spiritual nature of God's law, grounding Christian ethics in Christ's redemption and the believer's sanctification. The work demonstrates how the biblical emphasis on holy living flows naturally from covenant grace, making it valuable for understanding Reformed approaches to moral instruction and spiritual formation.
