Merit and Moses: Response to Charges Against the Doctrine of the Republication of the Covenant of Works

by Lee Irons

These essays by Lee Irons are in response to a book and some in the OPC who charge that Meredith Kline’s republication doctrine is in violation of baseline Augustinian and Reformed theology, teaches that “a group of fallen sinners can merit or extract a blessing from God” (MM 39). And, even worse, Kline’s republication doctrine “serves to undermine the singular glory of Christ’s meritorious obedience” (MM 116). And since these charges cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged, Lee irons has unndertaken to go chapter by chapter and point by point through the book Merit and Moses.
