Seeking Exposition of Ten Commandments

[CharlieJ]

Hey, I'm looking for expositions of the 10 Commandments from a Reformed perspective. I'm particularly interested in treatments that do a good job explaining how to use the law lawfully as Christians.

It sounds like you are looking for part 2 of The Marrow of Modern Divinity.

I recently read The Ten Commandments by Thomas Watson, and I heartily recommend it. After the detailed exposition on each commandment, there are sections on the right uses of the moral law.

 

[Rev. Todd Ruddell]

I'd recommend the Larger Catechism, and especially the comments on the Law by Thomas Ridgeley. This work is available on line for free from www.archive.org

I can think of no better exposition than the Westminster Larger Catechism, questions 99-149. Blessings in your study!

Yup. And Vos' commentary on the WLC would be all that you need.

I haven't read it, but the Rule of Love by JV Fesko is a modern exposition.

Charlie,

I'd start with the Heidelberg, WSC and WLC. And yes, Thomas Watson is excellent!

I personally benefited from James Durham on the Ten Commandments. You can pick it up from naphtali.com

Thanks Guys

I appreciate all the suggestions so far. I'm interested in lots of resources for myself, but I'm also looking for something for a friend of mine, who probably won't read the confessions or commentaries on them. A self-contained treatment in book or booklet form is probably the best idea.

So, for him, perhaps Thomas Watson, James Durham, or Fesko? Any others?

 

[Rich Koster]

G.I. Williamson's exposition on the WCF covers the Decalogue quite well.

 

[Contra_Mundum]

Fesko's book is probably ideal. The chapters are tidied-up sermons, not lengthy but succinct, and Christ-focused. The whole book is only about 10 chapters long.

I am presently preaching a series on the TC. But it probably will not make a book...

Douma's "The Ten Commandments" is good as well.
