COVENANT AND COMMANDMENT
WORKS, OBEDIENCE AND FAITHFULNESS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE [NSBT 33]
Auteur : Bradley G. Green
Description
A new study of a key theme in Christian theology and living
A key issue in Christianity is the nature of works or obedience or faithfulness in the Christian life. While evangelicals can generally agree that one enters into a covenant relationship with God by grace (even solely by grace) apart from works, there is often much more disagreement over how to construe the nature of works, or obedience, inside this covenantal relationship. From a close study of key Old and New Testament texts, Bradley Green shows that in the new covenant, works or obedience will be a God-elicited, real and necessary part of Christian life.
‘…to know Jesus, to confess him as Lord, entails obeying him. But how does this reality relate to a plethora of complementary themes ? Dr Green addresses this question by soundings in an impressive diversity of topics… ’ D. A. Carson
