Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful series of lectures concerning the Bible's teaching on law. I found his discussion of the Mosaic covenant a little inadequate. He appears to overeact against Darbyism by ruling out any republication of the covenant of works under Moses. The author tends to attribute earlier forms of republication among Reformed divines to the school of covenant theology associated with Johannes Cocceius, but this view is seriously mistaken. His exegetical discussions in the appendix are useful, especially those on Romans 7, 14, and Colossians 2.
