Jordan talks with Harrison Perkins about his new book, 'Righteous by Design.' They explore the distinctions between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace, the implications of original righteousness, and the relationship between law and gospel. Perkins discusses the theological implications of creation, salvation, and grace, particularly through the lens of Thomas Aquinas and the Reformed tradition. He discusses the nature of creation as inherently good and the complexities surrounding the concepts of grace and covenant, and more!
