“The modern age made the human will the arbiter of all things. In late modernity, following Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), we have reduced life to a struggle of the will. Modernity has consistently attempted to make God come to heel, as if it were possible, to make his will subservient to ours. This is an ancient impulse. It is the program of hell, of course, repackaged for every age.”

One of the more puzzling and overlooked features of the Barthian, neoevangelical, and federal visionist denial of the doctrine of the prelapsarian legal covenant is that it tends to deny, or at least downplay, the righteousness of God. It retells the entire story of Scripture by changing the plot. Denying the covenant of works (foedus operum), … tends to make God seem arbitrary.
