Psalm 23 and the Moral Life

An invitation to the journey of moral formation, with Psalm 23 as a guide 

In Psalm 23 and the Moral Life, Myles Werntz offers an innovative guide to Christian ethics grounded in one of Scripture’s most beloved passages. Moving through the psalm verse by verse, Werntz explores the full range of the moral life as it is articulated in the text: our need for God’s provision and guidance, our growth through God’s discipline, our reliance on God in the face of opposition, and more. Each chapter is framed not as an abstract argument but as a step in an unfolding journey—the language Christians have always used to make sense of their walk with God.

Wise, accessible, and deeply rooted in Scripture, Psalm 23 and the Moral Life is an ideal book for small group discussion, devotional reading, and anyone longing for fresh insight into the process of moral formation.
