General Bibliography on Natural Law / Two Kingdoms Doctrines

Honestly, friends, I intended this thread to be for bibliographical purposes. :doh: (Maybe a mod can re-title it to something more general?)

I'm trying to assemble a thorough bibliography (of things available in English!), on both natural law and the two kingdom doctrines. I understand there is a bibliography on the Between Two Worlds blog, as has been discussed here. Can anyone provide a bib on the two kingdom doctrines, or recommended reading? Also, what might be some standard critical works of these natural law/two kingdoms doctrines? I'm trying to get a balanced view on these things.

Thanks brothers, I appreciate your help. :coffee: :book2:

Chris Rhoades has done heroic work on collating what the magisterial Reformers thought on social ethics. While it doesn't deal with 2kingdomz or NL, per se, a lot of the names associated with NL are also dealt with by Chris. If he or Andrew is lurking they can find the link.

Lazareth, Christians in Society: Luther, the Bible, and Social Ethics.

Bornkamm, Luther's Doctrine of the Two Kingodoms in the Context of His Theology, trans, Karl Hertz
 
Interestingly, popular radio show host, Greg Koukl, critiques the two kingdoms.

I also think Two Cities, Two Loves: Christian Responsibility in a Crumbling Culture by Boice might be anothe to put on the list

Also, R.S. Clark has a bibliography here.
