The Mosaic Covenant 1645–1646 Sinai: republication of the covenant of works, or administration of the covenant of grace?

Other positions on Mosaic Covenant

Administration-Of-Grace WCF The Mosaic dispensation is one administration of the one covenant of grace 'under the law,' awaiting the foreordained time of Christ (WCF VII.5–6). Republication-Of-Works Sinai re-publishes the covenant of works in a typological mode while the covenant of grace continues underneath — developed by Owen and Boston after the Assembly.
