Righteous by Design : Covenantal Merit and Adam's Original Integrity

---

Outline : The Reformed, Exegetical & Doctrinal Studies series addresses a spectrum of doctrines and contemporary theological questions. While the emphasis is on refining dogmatic formulation through rigorous exegesis and exploration into each doctrine's historical background, this is done alongside warm, earnest pastoral application - making these studies practically, as well as theologically, relevant.
From the medieval period into modern Roman Catholicism, many have believed that because original righteousness was superadded to our nature, personal righteousness could be restored by grace after the Fall in such a way as to allow us to merit everlasting life through works. By contrast, the Reformation tradition has held that sin has damaged our nature so thoroughly we can be saved by grace alone. Harrison Perkins exhibits a thorough historical investigation of medieval and counter-Reformation theology, exploring sources seldom treated in Reformed literature. He presents a theological case that original righteousness was natural to Adam before the Fall and that Adam could have merited everlasting life according to the covenant of works. Perkins argues for the Protestant law-gospel distinction through the lens of the imago Dei to highlight the sufficiency of Christ and his work.
