J. V. Fesko seeks to recover and defend the doctrine of the covenant of works in this second book in his three-part series. He argues that it is biblical and a necessary element for a right understanding of God, the world, Christ and our redemption. Understanding the nature of the triune God-s interaction with Adam ultimately sets the stage for the work of the last Adam, Jesus. The book is split into three sections: history, exegesis and doctrine. The chapter headings are:HistoryTermsDo This and LiveAdam-s FaithCovenant or Contract?Grace in the Covenant of WorksThe Covenant of Works and Sinai ExegesisWritten on the Heart (Rom. 2:14-15)In the Day that you Eat (Gen. 2:16-17)Do This and Live (Lev. 18:5)They Broke the Everlasting Covenant (Isa. 24:5)Like Adam They Broke the Covenant (Hos. 6:7)These Are Two Covenants (Gal. 4:24)Adam, Israel, and Christ (Rom. 5:12-21)Captive to the Law (Rom. 7:16) DoctrineStatement of the DoctrineThe Covenant of Works and SinaiJustification and the Covenant
