“My first exposure to Dr. Gordon’s five models was in the late 1990s when he taught the material in adult Sunday School in the church I planted, Amoskeag Presbyterian Church. I was impressed with the biblical breadth of his ethical proposal. The Reformed find an emphasis on the law to be a refreshingly concrete guide to the Christian life—but it is not the only guide. Gordon’s five models capture the nuances of biblical ethics and thus provide a significant aid to Christian pilgrims.” Gregory Edward Reynolds, Author; Editor, Ordained Servant
