God’s Grace Shining through the Law

by Joel R. Beeke (Editor), William VanDoodewaard (Contributor), Gerald M. Bilkes (Contributor)

Christians throughout the centuries have struggled to understand the relationship between God's law and His grace. Sadly, many have inadvertently neglected either the law and fallen into antinomianism or they have neglected grace and run amuck into legalism. God's Grace Shining through Law will help Christians young or old to navigate through these two errors and live in joyful obedience to the Word of God. May this volume be both a warning signal and a welcome sign, challenging each of us to examine our standing before a holy God and encouraging our hearts to rest in the grace of God that is ours in the gospel.
