Description:
The Protestant Reformation sparked an ongoing debate among Christians on the relationship between the Law and the Gospel as part of the discussion of the relationship of the Old and New Testaments. Questions such as these are being asked: Do the Law and the Gospel belong to two separate dispensations? has the Gospel replaced the Law? What is the relevance of the Old Testament Law to our lives as Christians? Is there continuity between it and what Christ expects of us in the Gospel?
It’s no secret that Christians have differed widely on this questions. This book, using the familiar format of a “View” book, explores five major approaches to this important biblical topic that have developed in Protestant circles. Each of the five authors presents his particular perspective on the issue and responds to the other four. The authors presented are Greg L Bahnsen, Walter C. Kaiser, jr., Douglas J Moo, Wayne G Strickland, and Willem A Vangemeren.
