In this study, Ernest Kevan investigates the works of numerous seventeenth-century theologians to provide an overview of a Puritan understanding of the law in relationship to the life of the Christian. After describing the Puritans and the antinomian controversy that developed among them, Kevan demonstrates how the orthodox view among the Puritans regarded the moral law as an expression of God's majesty established as a guide for man's blessedness and a measure to expose sin. He then proceeds to show how the law relates to God's people after the fall in the context of the covenant of grace. Great care is used to explain the relation of Christ's work to the law, the ongoing moral obligation Christians have to the law, the idea of gospel obedience, and the Christian's freedom from the law's condemnation. Although the Puritans saw law and grace as opposing principles regarding one's justification, they did teach about how God ultimately uses the law in the life of the believer for His gracious purposes.

The gospel is not about a law you must keep.It is about receiving a life that will keep you. It is not about living this lifeout of fear. It is about living a life of faith. It is not about rules. It is about arelationship with the Father.The message of John the Baptist and of Jesus is simply this; repent, for thekingdom of God is at hand. The kingdom of God is one paradigm shift away. Oneof the meanings of the word repent is to change your mind. It also means to changeone's bent, or to turn about. Many times, when we preach repentance, we preachwhat we turn from, but we never emphasize what we turn toward. Many have turnedfrom law and religion, only to turn toward the bondage of sin. Or they have turnedfrom the bondage of sin, only to trade it for the bondage of religion. The messageof this book is primarily to help you turn toward the present reality of the kingdomof God. The gospel of the kingdom is not just about a ticket to heaven someday. Itis about receiving the Holy Spirit that will allow you to live the abundant life as acitizen of the kingdom of God right now. The message that John the Baptist wasdeclaring was that of another form of government called the kingdom. It was comingon the scene, and would replace the government of the law.The Message Bible, in II Corinthians 3:7-9 calls the old covenant the governmentof death and condemnation. It was a constitution chiseled on stone tablets. The newcovenant is the constitution of the kingdom and is a government of affirmation. Itis written on the fleshly tablets of our heart. It is the government of the living spirit.This book will help you turn toward the Lord. When our heart turns toward theLord, the veil will be taken away. This book will help you make the paradigm shiftfrom law to grace.

Is the Mosaic covenant in some sense a republication of the covenant of works? What is the nature of its demand for obedience, since sinful man is unable to obey as God requires? How in turn was the law to drive Israel to Jesus? This book explores these issues pertaining to the doctrine of republication--once a staple in Reformed theology--a doctrine with far-reaching implications for Paul's theology, our relationship to Old Testament law, justification, and more.

Grace in Practice is a challenging call to live life under grace -- a concept most Christians secretly have trouble with. Paul Zahl pulls no punches, contending that no matter how often we talk about salvation by grace, in our "can-do" society we often cling instead to a righteousness of works. Asserting throughout that grace always trumps both law and church, Zahl illuminates an expansive view of grace in everything, extending the good news of grace to all creation. Conversationally written and filled with fascinating insights, Grace in Practice will reward any Christian who seeks to understand the full measure of God's grace and the total freedom it offers.

An introduction to a complex theological issue that impacts our daily lives as believers in Christ: What is the relevance of the Old Testament Law to our understanding of the Gospel and how it should be lived? This book explores five major approaches to this important biblical topic as they've developed in Protestant circles: Non-Theonomic Reformed View – the law is the perfection of righteousness in Jesus Christ. Theonomic Reformed View – the goodness of the law is dependent on how it's used and does not offer a way to salvation. Heavily focused on Paul's discussion of the Law. Law as "Gracious Guidance" View – emphasizes the contrasts between the Mosaic law and the Gospel of grace, while still asserting the Law's value. Dispensational View – approaches the Law from a historical perspective to help us understand its presentation, treatment, and recipients. Modified Lutheran View – the Law of Christ as the fulfillment of the Law of Moses. This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
