NSBT 33: Covenant and Commandment

Works, Obedience and Faithfulness in the Christian Life.

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. (= 9780830826346)
