The Tale of Two Adams

This book was born as a direct critique of Norman Shepherd's book "The Call of Grace." (I even mention names from the New Perspectives on Paul like N.T. Wright and J.D.G. Dunn as well as folks involved in the Federal Vision, like Doug Wilson and others from his Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals.) However, I've moved most of the critique to footnotes, and left the body of the text a positive presentation of the relationship between covenant theology and justification. Although everything in the book I learned from Meredith G. Kline, while a student of his at Westminster Seminary in California, it is written for laypeople. After defining crucial terms, The Tale of Two Adams treats six covenants: the original covenant of works at creation, the intratrinitarian covenant of redemption, the covenant of common grace, the covenant of grace and the new covenant. Pick up a copy today, and learn how the Reformed tradition found the divine covenants the best way to understand Scripture's contrast between the Law and the Gospel.
