God’s law is an integral component of Scripture. The law outlines God’s principles and uncovers God’s character, and by it we understand how to relate to one another and to God. It is much more than legal code—it is covenantal law. God’s law established a personal relationship between God and man.
Rousas John Rushdoony’s 3-volume Institutes of Biblical Law explains the meaning and impact of biblical law—not only in its original context, but also in its modern application. Rushdoony explains why God’s law has enormous relevance for today. Combining Old Testament scholarship with legal theory, The Institutes of Biblical Law shows how Old Testament law is important not only for biblical scholarship, but for understanding the fundamental nature of human identity.
With the Logos edition of The Institutes of Biblical Law, all Scripture references automatically display on mouseover, and are linked to both original language texts and English translations of the Bible (that you own). That makes the Logos edition essential for studying the connection between the Bible and the law, and for discovering the impact and relevance of God’s law for today.
