- Title
IS THE ADAMIC WORK OF CHRIST SHARED WITH THE BELIEVER? A CRITIQUE OF VAN DRUNEN.
- Authors
Latimer, Andrew
- Abstract
One of the ongoing debates in Reformed theology is how Christians are to engage with the wider culture. David Van Drunen's book "Living in God's two Kingdoms" provides a clear presentation of a two kingdoms approach to cultural engagement and is written to challenge the "vision that the redemptive transformation of culture is central to the Christian life". This article aims to show how Van Drunen's misreading of the covenant with Adam sets him on the wrong course, and leads to conclusions which are at odds with the New Testament's description of the Christian life. He fails to see that alongside an "exile paradigm" for believers in this age, the New Testament also describes a "conquest paradigm", and he misses how the New Testament teaches that in Christ believers share in Christ's Adamic work.
