God freely justifies sinners, accounting Christ’s obedience to all who place their trust in him.
How is this truth to be related to the teaching that those who have been justified are to live lives characterised by obedience, good works and faithfulness? Covenant and Commandment seeks to answer this question. The essence of Green’s thesis is crystallised by a quotation from Richard Gaffin on p.101: ‘a faith that rests on God the Savior [sic] is a faith that is restless to do his will’.
