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.
