He has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals, including the ''Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal'' and the ''American Journal of Bioethics''. These articles, like his book, focus on topics in bioethics, including the morality of assisted suicide and human enhancement technology.〔Lindsay, Ronald (Enhancements and Justice: Problems in Determining the Requirements of Justice in a Genetically Transformed Society ) March 2005 ''Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal''〕〔Lindsay, Ronald ''(Slaves, Embryos, and Nonhuman Animals: Moral Status and the Limitations of Common Morality Theory )'' December 2005 ''Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal''〕〔(Wiley Online Library )〕〔(March 2009 ''American Journal of Bioethics'' )〕 Lindsay also wrote the essay on Euthanasia for the ''International Encyclopedia of Ethics'' (Wiley-Blackwell: 2013).〔International Encyclopedia of Ethics (Wiley-Blackwell: 2013).〕
Lindsay has also written several articles on ethical issues for ''Free Inquiry'', the publication of the Council for Secular Humanism.

Lindsay’s latest book is ''The Necessity of Secularism: Why God Can’t Tell Us What to Do'' (Pitchstone 2014).〔Lindsay, Ronald 2014 ''The Necessity of Secularism: Why God Can’t Tell Us What to Do'' ()〕 In this book, Lindsay argues that for democratic discourse to be successful, religious doctrines need to be kept out of public policy discussions, since these doctrines are meaningful only to members of particular religions.
