    Help for Essay on Covenant with Adam

    Hello all,
    I am preparing for an essay I have to write tomorrow for my exam in my Biblical Covenants class. The essay was given to us before hand. We have to answer the question: Did God make a (pre-fall) covenant with Adam? We need to present both sides of the argument and then defend the side we agree with. I know one important verse is Hosea 6:7, but it has been argued that it could mean "at Adam" in reference to a town called Adam. Could any of you point me to some resources for both sides of this, or perhaps name some important arguments to look into for each side?
    Thanks a lot!
    Grace and Peace,
    Dan

    Here is a discussion between Gene Bridges and a New Covenant Guy. Both sides are presented.

    Is there a Covenant of Works... A discussion between a NCT guy and Gene Bridges. - The PuritanBoard

    To bad it is due tomorrow. Dr. Bob Gonzales has done an article I can send to you if I had his permission. It was printed in a Reformed Baptist Theological Review Journal. It is real good. He also just had a recent thread concerning the Hosea passage and an Isaiah text also. Isaiah 24:5 and the Covenant of Works
