I just received my edition of the December 2009 Kerux: The Journal of Northwest Theological Seminary. The whole issue is one massive review (152 pages!) interacting with the book The Law is Not of Faith. Those interested in the revisionist agenda being propogated out of Westminster Seminary in California should give this work some serious consideration. As a teaser (no, I haven't read it all yet) here is a paragraph from the introduction:
The merit formulations in this book are both dangerous and irresponsible. We are sounding an alarm to the Reformed community--this book is a revisionist redefinition of historic Reformed covenant theology. And it is not coincidental that Meredith G Kline, T David Gordon and others have called for the revision of the chapter on covenant theology (chapter 7) in the Reformed confession of faith composed at Westminster Abbey in the 17th century. The revisionist thesis of this book is the key to a larger and more revolutionary hidden agenda--the revisionist redefinition of historic Reformed covenant theology and the reimaging of the Reformed Confessions in the Klinean paradigm of the 'Escondido Hermeneutic'.
There are probably a limited number of editions printed. Be sure to contact NWTS to get a copy of what is surely a substantive work in this debate. Contact NWTS
Edited 5/13/14 NWTS has placed this online free. http://www.kerux.com/pdf/Kerux.24.03.pdf
I also would recommend Cornel P. Venema's Review from Mid America. http://www.midamerica.edu/resources/journal/21/venema21.pdf
