The Institutes of Biblical Law (3 vols.)
Overview
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.

We often forget about the Law God gave the Jews. I have heard people say we are not under the law anymore. Yet Jesus said that he did not come to replace the Law but to fulfill the Law. volume 1 of this set I am maybe 30% done reading. So many things covered just talking about the Ten commandments. The Bible tells us how God wants us to live our lives. Among the many things I have learned. the Jewish People were commanded not to have property taxes. Why because God created the world and all things in it. You do not tax God. It talks about the enviroment that our science may be causing more harm than good. That natural ways to fix problems are better because you think you are taking care of one problem yet it causes many more. An example of that in africa is presented the cause and effect of some of man's ideas that caused even worse problems down the road. If you think the 10 commandments are simple commandments Here it is presented where all our laws of the land seem to fall under one or more of the 10 commandments. Because we can not obey 10 simple commandment we have thousands of laws that expand on those commandments.
