The Covenant of Works

The word covenant does not appear in the opening chapters of the Bible. Does this mean that it is mistaken even to begin talking about God’s making a covenant with Adam? In this lesson, Dr. Fesko explains why we ought to affirm the reality of the covenant of works by examining its historical origins, scriptural evidence, and theological framework.
