Conversations with Scripture: The Law
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Scripture contains many laws that perplex Christians—like a law prohibiting farmers from reaping a harvest to the edge of their field, or a prohibition in Leviticus not to mar the edge of your beard. What do these mean in modern times? Kevin Wilson offers fresh insights into the meaning of the Law for today. In chapters that explore the Law in Exodus and Leviticus, Wilson examines the historical and cultural contexts of these legal codes. He also discusses rituals, such as sacrifice and rituals related to purification from defilement. Wilson demonstrates the ways in which the Temple priests used many of these laws as their own code of purity and their own method of enforcing purity in the covenant community.
