Five Views on Law and Gospel

Greg L. Bahnsen, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., et al, Five Views on Law and Gospel (1993).

This book presents five scholarly views on the relevance of Old Testament law to our lives as Christians today. The five views are presented in a very readable format. Each scholar has written one chapter, espousing his view, and, in addition, each has written a brief response to all the other presenters. William A. VanGemeren presents the non-theonomic reformed view, Greg Bahnsen presents a theonomic reformed view, Walter Kaiser, Jr. argues that the “weightier issues of the law of Moses” are binding today, Douglas Moo gives a “modified” Lutheran appraisal, and Wayne Strickland presents the dispensational view. There is a good index and index to scripture references. 416 pages.
