Question 34


Modern Adaptation

Question: Did Adam only represent himself in the covenant of works?

Answer: No; he also represented all his children.


Traditional Formulation

Question: Did Adam act for himself alone in the covenant of works?

Answer: No; he represented all his posterity.


Adaptation Commentary

Word order is changed for clarity and “act for” is changed to “represent” for better symmetry with the answer. Also, “Posterity” is simplified to “children” in keeping with the notion of “first parents”
