Getting the Garden Right

Adam’s Work and God’s Rest in Light of Christ

De: Richard Barcellos

Narrado por: Andrew Baldwin

"Nothing shapes how we interpret and apply the Bible as much as our understanding of covenant. Richard Barcellos offers us a helpful blend of biblical exegesis and theological reflection on the implications of covenant theology for God’s relationship with Adam and for the Lord’s day. Though this book’s discussion is framed by debates among Baptist brethren, the issues are of great consequence to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. It serves as an effective antidote to New Covenant Theology, which, though saying many good things, can still do considerable damage to the church with regard to living out the Christian life practically and experientially. This is a welcome book written in an irenic spirit, and I pray that it will do much good in our day of great need to remain faithful to the biblically and carefully constructed covenant theology of our Puritan forebears. I am grateful that Dr. Barcellos underscores with clarity the vital importance of getting right the scriptural teaching on the covenant of works and on the Lord’s day.” (Dr. Joel R. Beeke)

An important book for our day

I found this book helpful as a seminary student, but I would recommend it for laymen too. It is written in two parts that both complement each other. I found it well thought out, clear, and easy to understand.

Tone

arrogant and mispronounced theological terms and simply too obnoxious in the reading which is distracting and tiresome
