Rowland Ward on the Covenant of Works

March 5, 2011 by Nicholas Batzig

There are certain theologians that I especially look forward to interviewing on Christ the Center. One such figure is Dr. Rowland Ward. The panel invited Dr. Ward to speak about his outstanding book God and Adam. You can read the details of the episode here. You can download the interview here. This is a great introduction to his book and a discussion of the Covenant of Works. I only wish we had another hour or two to have him further flesh out the history of Covenant Theology with regard to the foedus operum. You can find other supplemental articles and writings by Dr. Ward below:
