"Full of enduring questions and bracing insights" "Many fine commentaries have been written on the Ten Commandments, and Gilbert Meilaender has made an excellent contribution to this collection. But what sets this book apart from the others is that it provides a prism on the Christian moral life more broadly. Each chapter illumines aspects of the gospel as command, invitation, and grace. As always, Meilaender writes in a compelling, engaging, and insightful manner." --Brent Waters, Stead Center for Ethics and Values, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "This little book on a familiar…mehr

"Full of enduring questions and bracing insights" "Many fine commentaries have been written on the Ten Commandments, and Gilbert Meilaender has made an excellent contribution to this collection. But what sets this book apart from the others is that it provides a prism on the Christian moral life more broadly. Each chapter illumines aspects of the gospel as command, invitation, and grace. As always, Meilaender writes in a compelling, engaging, and insightful manner." --Brent Waters, Stead Center for Ethics and Values, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "This little book on a familiar topic is full of enduring questions and bracing insights, of piquant definitions and memorable lines that lift and nerve the heart. Meilaender offers an interpretation of the Decalogue that is focused on the bonds that sustain human life and community, and presents it as God's gift to us, giving shape to a life of love." --Sondra Wheeler, Wesley Theological Seminary "Meilaender is among the few master theologians at work today. Brilliantly and constructively Lutheran, freely at odds with Catholic teachings on this or that matter, Meilaender at the same time draws deeply from the moral teachings of Pope John Paul II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. There are few things more worth doing than pondering the Decalogue, and few theologians more worth doing it with than Meilaender." --Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary "This book is what we have come to expect from Meilaender: clarity and elegance in expression, engagingly plotted chapters, rich with wise illustration. This is serious theological reflection, and always with a concern to relate the commandments of God to our lives before him today. It takes a master to cover this well-worn territory and show us fresh light. Thy Will Be Done has done just this." --Christopher R. Seitz, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto "Thy Will Be Done is not a volume of unbending legalism, but a mature meditation on the grace of law in the Ten Commandments by a seasoned servant of Christ. Meilaender helps us better appreciate the bonds of love that unite us to God, life, family, marriage, and one another. Read this with an open heart and you'll be richly rewarded." --C. Ben Mitchell, Union University
