Not if you don't want to end up affirming, not only the CoW of the Mosaic 
Covenant, but the Adamic Covenant.  Ha!  :-)
Kline's magnum opus is Kingdom Prologue and is available online at: 
http://www.twoagepress.org/books.htm.  His "Image of the Spirit" is also a 
must read.

But if I were going to put a book on my Christmas wish list, the no-brainer 
would be the latest from Kline's former colleague at Gordon Conwell, G. K. 
Beale.  His latest book is "The Temple and the Church's Mission: A Biblical 
Theology of the Dwelling Place of God" 
http://www.gospelcom.net/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=2618.  I'm of the opinion 
that this work one-ups Kingdom Prologue in its significance because it 
places the eschatology and Christology of the revelation in a New Creation 
trajectory (KP places it in a "kingdom" trajectory... which Beale suggests 
is within the New Creation).  Beale doesn't hammer the Covenant of Works in 
the garden quite as hard as Kline in this book, so you may enjoy it a little 
more. :-)  It is one great read and its implications are expansive (when you 
go to bed your head will still be racing with more "thoughts". :-)).
