In this study, Ernest Kevan investigates the works of numerous seventeenth-century theologians to provide an overview of a Puritan understanding of the law in relationship to the life of the Christian. After describing the Puritans and the antinomian controversy that developed among them, Kevan demonstrates how the orthodox view among the Puritans regarded the moral law as an expression of God’s majesty established as a guide for man’s blessedness and a measure to expose sin. He then proceeds to show how the law relates to God’s people after the fall in the context of the covenant of grace. Great care is used to explain the relation of Christ’s work to the law, the ongoing moral obligation Christians have to the law, the idea of gospel obedience, and the Christian’s freedom from the law’s condemnation. Although the Puritans saw law and grace as opposing principles regarding one’s justification, they did teach about how God ultimately uses the law in the life of the believer for His gracious purposes.

The Grace of the Law: A Study in Puritan Theology by Ernest Kevan at 268 pages of text is a great but thought provoking read.
Kevan presents the Puritan understanding of the Law as good and as a blessing to the Christian. Further, that the three fold use of the Law is to be made with the permenance of the Moral Law demonstrated in living a life pleasing and sanctified to God.
I really liked the plethora of quotes (citations as footnotes, l really dislike endnotes) relating to the Puritan understanding of the Law. This book highlights the relationship between the attributes of God and his Law along with a goal of salvation, conformity to the image of Christ.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the three fold use of the Law this book provides a valuable corrective in in understanding the Law as beneficial to the ongoing Christian life..... I heartily recommend the reading of this book.
