Law books are often treated like the awkward uncle of the biblical family; they mean well but when they get started you remember that they're from another generation. With a reputation for being difficult, regressive, irrelevant and dry these books are often left alone. But at the heart of these texts is a vision of human flourishing so radically progressive that it could not be imagined today. The Law takes fundamental ideas about God and morality that revolutionised the ancient world and applied them in surprising, thoughtful and challenging ways. This short study looks at the Law with both open eyes and faith, engaging with the findings of biblical scholarship as well as the needs of the church. Law books are always challenging and controversial, but not always for the reasons you might expect.
