The Lord's Supper

Charles H. Spurgeon

<p>In this study, Ernest Kevan investigates the works of numerous seventeenth-century theologians to provide an overview of a Puritan understanding of the law in relationship to the life of the Christian. After describing the Puritans and the antinomian controversy that developed among them, Kevan demonstrates how the orthodox view among the Puritans regarded the moral law as an expression of God s majesty established as a guide for man s blessedness and a measure to expose sin. He then proceeds to show how the law relates to God s people after the fall in the context of the covenant of grace. Great care is used to explain the relation of Christ s work to the law, the ongoing moral obligation Christians have to the law, the idea of gospel obedience, and the Christian s freedom from the law s condemnation. Although the Puritans saw law and grace as opposing principles regarding one s justification, they did teach about how God ultimately uses the law in the life of the believer for His gracious purposes.</p>
