Desde os dias da igreja primitiva, os cristãos lutam para compreender a relação entre lei e evangelho. Se a salvação é pela graça e a lei não pode salvar, como afirma o apóstolo Paulo, qual a relevância da lei para os cristãos de hoje?
Ao revisitar a famosa mas esquecida "controvérsia do cerne" que, no século 18, acentuou o debate acerca da relação e da proporção adequada entre a graça de Deus e nossas obras —, Sinclair B. Ferguson explora essa questão central e por isso ainda tão relevante. Ao fazê-lo, explica como nossa compreensão da relação entre lei e evangelho determina a maneira de encararmos o evangelismo, a busca da santificação e até mesmo nossa compreensão do próprio Deus.
