Biblical Law and Its Relevance A Christian

This book approaches the laws of the Pentateuch from theological, historical, moral, and spiritual perspectives. Biblical Law and Its Relevance, while taking into consideration the approaches of Reformed, Dispensationalist, Lutheran, and Theonomist scholars, proposes a distinctive hermeneutic of seeking to find the abiding moral and religious principles inherent in the laws.

Joe M. Sprinkle is a Professor of the Old Testament at Crossroads College.
