The purpose of Fuller’s Gospel & Law is to argue against the notion of antithesis between Law and Gospel and to make a case for the fundamental continuity between Gospel and Law. According to Fuller, both Dispensational and Reformed theology posit an unbiblical discontinuity between Gospel and Law. He states that, “although today’s dispensationalism explains the relationship between law and grace in wording that is different from that of covenant theology, there is not substantial difference in meaning. . .today’s Dispensationalism has reverted to a virtual covenant theology in the way it handles the law-gospel problem”. Because both systems introduce this improper distinction between Law and Gospel, Fuller introduces an alternative way to approach this question. He writes, “there [can] no longer be any antithesis in biblical theology between the law and the gospel. I then had to accept the very drastic conclusion that the antithesis between law and gospel established by Luther, Calvin, and the covenant theologians could no longer stand up under the scrutiny of biblical theology.
