Synopsis

A clear, practical look at how two covenants shape faith and life

This edition examines the old and new covenants—the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace—and explains how they relate to justification, the law, and the believer’s life. It presents a historical and doctrinal discussion aimed at helping readers understand how grace and obedience fit together in the Christian story.

• Explore how the law functions as both a rule of life and a covenant, and how that differs from its use in the Covenant of Works.
• See how justification by faith is presented in relation to works, law, and grace, with attention to biblical texts.
• Consider opinions on the role of the Ten Commandments and Christ’s work in setting believers free from condemnation.
• Learn how the book frames the believer’s obedience, desire for God, and the motivation of heaven as reasons for living rightly.

Ideal for readers of theological history and readers seeking a historically grounded discussion of faith, law, and grace.
