About this title

Synopsis

A clear, accessible study of how the biblical law fits into God’s changing revelations, from ancient Israel to the church.

Two concise paragraphs frame the work: This volume presents a careful, non-polemical examination of how Law and Gospel relate in Scripture. It explains the Law’s origin, purpose, and pedagogical use in Israel, and how the gospel brings its aims to fulfillment in Christ. The author argues that the moral core of the law remains binding, while its ceremonial parts shift in light of the gospel, delivering believers from bondage to a life shaped by love and Spirit.

Learn how the law functioned as a teaching system for Israel, leading to the gospel.
See why the apostle Paul described the law as a minister of death, and how Christ ends that role in believers.
Understand how the moral demands of the law persist, but are fulfilled by faith and the spirit.
Explore the idea of the law being fulfilled in the life of a Christian, not imposed as a rigid works-based standard.

Ideal for readers of theological history, biblical doctrine, and those seeking a measured, Bible-centered discussion of law and grace.
