“The Law” can be used in two different senses: the eschatological . . . (emphasizing the unity of revelation), and synonymous with “Old Testament,” and the theological (emphasizing the antithesis between word of judgment and word of promise). . . . Thus, the Law is filled with Gospel promises if by “Law” one means the Old Testament, but in its special office as a theological-hermeneutical category, there is no Gospel in the Law, nor Law in the Gospel.
