Hotly debated since the sixteenth century in the Reformed theological tradition, and still a burning issue today, antinomianism has a long and complicated story.
This book is the first to examine antinomianism from a historical, exegetical, and systematic perspective. More than that, in it Mark Jones offers a key - a robust Reformed Christology with a strong emphasis on the Holy Spirit - and chapter by chapter uses it to unlock nine questions raised by the debates.
"The problem of antinomianism is a hardy perennial for the church. There is a mischievous movement afoot at the moment whose soaring rhetoric about grace is matched by an equally casual presumption on the same. Mark Jones's book is thus to be welcomed: it is biblically grounded, historically sensitive, and above all timely." -Carl R. Trueman, Paul Woolley Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary, PA; Pastor of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church (OPC) Ambler, PA

This excellent book is helpful to everyone, as we can all be subtly influenced by some measure of antinomianism in our thinking. This book is rich in good theology and Christology, and is both corrective and encouraging. The author deals with the law and Gospel, good works and rewards, the 2 ways in which God loves His people, and assurance. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and at the end had gained much understanding.

A challenge for Christians
In current (western) Christianity, grace is often overemphasized. Justification takes the main stage and sanctification is either ignored or misunderstood. There is little emphasis put on the obligations and duties of a Christian. This book is an excellent corrective for modern day Christianity (myself included) where we inadvertantly have a faulty or lacking understanding of Christology and hence of the law and gospel, and the Christian life. This is a fairly short book but Mark Jones does a great job in outlining and problems of Antinomianism and providing a corrective which is then examined and shown through Christ. The preaching and understanding of the whole Christ, both his person and works is essential in a correct understanding of God and hence ourselves. \\nHighly recommend this book!

Informative, if slightly Puritan-centric
This relatively small book could, rather, be titled """"Antinomianism, Or What the Puritans Taught About the Law in the Life of the Believer. """" Indeed, though 'Antinomianism' is on the whole wonderfully insightful ('Amor, Amor') and devastatingly incisive ('The Law and the Gospel'), it is, at points throughout, tediously Puritan-centric. The constant stream of Puritan quotes does, in my opinion, steal away some of the immediacy and flow from Jones' argumentation. Still, Jones makes a number of compelling points, especially by linking antinomianism to a deficient Christology and his concern that an almost exclusive focus upon justification (an applied benefit of Christ's person work) has subsumed sanctification (another applied benefit). In short, 'Antinomianism' was an exceedingly helpful, if slightly rigorous, discussion of the nuance and complexity that surrounds issue of antinomianism.
