Covenant and Commandment : Works, Obedience And Faithfulness In The Christian Life

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 (even solely 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. From a close study of key Old and New Testament texts, Bradley Green shows that in the new covenant, works or obedience will be a God-elicited, real and necessary part of Christian life.
