• ABIS BOOK
• 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 apart from works, there is often much more disagreement over how to construe the nature of works, or obedience, inside this covenantal relationship.
• This volume is a slightly unusual contribution to NSBT. It neither works out the particular theology of a biblical book or corpus, nor traces a narrow theme right through the Bible. Instead, it tracks through the Bible, from Adam and Eve to the new heaven and the new earth, a rather large and multi layered theme the place of good works, obedience and faithfulness in the believer's life.
• For the Christian, to know Jesus, to confess him as Lord, entails obeying him. But how does this reality relate to a plethora of complementary themes Dr Green addresses this question by soundings in an impressive diversity of topics: e.g. the promises of a new covenant in Jeremiah and Ezekiel that anticipate a Spirit empowered obedience, various relationships between the old and new covenants.
