Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To attempt to study Scripture without studying its law is to deny it. To attempt to understand Western civilization apart from the impact of Biblical law within it and upon it is to seek a fictitious history and to reject twenty centuries and their progress. The Institutes of Biblical Law has as its purpose a reversal of the present trend. it is called "Institutes" in the older meaning of the that word, i.e., fundamental principles, here of law, because it is intended as a beginning, as an instituting consideration of that law which must govern society, and which shall govern society under God. To understand Biblical law, it is necessary to understand also certain basic characteristics of that law. In it, certain broad premises or principles are declared. These are declarations of basic law. The Ten Commandments give us such declarations. A second characteristics of Biblical law, is that the major portion of the law is case law, i.e., the illustration of the basic principle in terms of specific cases. These specific cases are often illustrations of the extent of the application of the law; that is, by citing a minimal type of case, the necessary jurisdictions of the law are revealed. The law, then, asserts principles and cites cases to develop the implications of those principles, with is purpose and direction the restitution of God's order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's law is much more than a legal code; it is a covenantal law. It establishes a personal relationship between God and man." The first section summarizes the case laws. The author tenderly illustrates how the law is for our good, and makes clear the difference between the sacrificial laws and those that apply today. The second section vividly shows the practical implications of the law. The examples catch the reader's attention; the author clearly has had much experience discussing God's law. The third section shows that would-be challengers to God's law produce only poison and death. Only God's law can claim to express God's "covenant grace in helping us."
Book Synopsis Faith and Obedience by : R. J. Rushdoony
Download or read book Faith and Obedience written by R. J. Rushdoony and published by Chalcedon Foundation. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without Obedience to God's Law, Our Faith is a Dead One. Is God's law opposed to love, grace, and faith? The Apostle Paul makes clear in Roman 13:8-10 that love is the fulfilling of the law because love puts law into action by respecting God's requirements concerning life, property, our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. If we commit adultery, we do not love our spouse. If we are idolaters, we do not love God. Love is more than a feeling; it is a way of life lived either in faith and obedience to God and His law, or in unbelief and disobedience. Love is the law of God put into action by a person of faith. Therefore, it is the grace of God that He has given us His commandments. In this powerful introduction to Biblical law, R. J. Rushdoony reveals that to be born again means that where you were once governed by your own word and spirit, you are now totally governed by God's Word and Spirit. This is because every word of God is a binding word. Our money, our calling, our family, our sexuality, our political life, our economics, our sciences, our art, and all things else must be subject to God's Word and requirements. The Scripture says that "the wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23), and that "sin is the trangression of the law" (1 John 3:4). Therefore, to be lawless - without law - is leading our society to death. Might this explain the disasters and collapses of our time? Can you see how important such a study of God's law would be? If so, then here is your introduction.

Book Synopsis Law and the Bible by : Robert F. Cochran
Download or read book Law and the Bible written by Robert F. Cochran and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is full of law. Yet too often, Christians either pick and choose verses out of context to bolster existing positions, or assume that any moral judgment the Bible expresses should become the law of the land. Law and the Bible asks: What inspired light does the Bible shed on Christians’ participation in contemporary legal systems? It concludes that more often than not the Bible overturns our faulty assumptions and skewed commitments rather than bolsters them. In the process, God gives us greater insight into what all of life, including law, should be. Each chapter is cowritten by a legal professional and a theologian, and focuses on a key aspect of the biblical witness concerning civil or positive law--that is, law that human societies create to order their communities, implementing and enforcing it through civil government. A foundational text for legal professionals, law and prelaw students, and all who want to think in a faithfully Christian way about law and their relationship to it.
Book Synopsis The Biblical Philosophy of History by : R. J. Rushdoony
Download or read book The Biblical Philosophy of History written by R. J. Rushdoony and published by Chalcedon Foundation. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the orthodox Christian who grounds his philosophy of history on the doctrine of creation, the mainspring of history is God. Time rests on the foundation of eternity, on eternal decree of God. Time and history therefore have meaning because they were created in terms of God's perfect and totally comprehensive plan. The humanist faces a meaningless world in which he must strive to create and establish meaning. The Christian accepts a world which is totally meaningful and in which every event moves in terms of God's purpose; he submits to God's meaning and finds his life therein. This is an excellent introduction to Rushdoony. Once the reader sees Rushdoony's emphasis on God's sovereignty over all of time and creation, he will understand his application of this presupposition in various spheres of life and thought.
Book Synopsis Laws in the Bible and in Early Rabbinic Collections by : Samuel Greengus
Download or read book Laws in the Bible and in Early Rabbinic Collections written by Samuel Greengus and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable discovery of ancient Near Eastern law collections or "codes," beginning with the Laws of Hammurabi and followed by many other collections in decades following, opened a new window upon biblical law. This volume seeks to examine within a single study all of the biblical laws that are similar in content with ancient Near Eastern laws from Sumer, Babylonia, Assyria, and Hatti. The book also examines a small but important group of early rabbinic laws from postbiblical times that exhibit significant similarities with laws found in the ancient Near Eastern collections or "codes." This later group of laws, although absent from the Bible, are nevertheless of comparable antiquity. The presentation focuses on the actual law statements preserved in these ancient law "codes." The discussion then adds narratives, records, and reports of legal actions from ancient sources outside the laws-all of which relate to the formal law statements. The discourse is non-polemical in tone and does not seek to revisit all theories and interpretations. The format allows readers, including those who are new to the subject of biblical law, to engage the primary sources on their own.

Book Synopsis Historical and Theological Foundations of Law by : John Eidsmoe
Download or read book Historical and Theological Foundations of Law written by John Eidsmoe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Law? Where does it get its authority? With unparalleled scope and minute detail, Historical &Theological Foundations of Law studies the earliest origins of Law in the legal systems of ancient societies all across the earth, explores their common threads and differences, traces their development through history, and notes common trends that should cause hope or alarm today. Volume I: Ancient Wisdom. Book I, The Foundation begins by exploring the laws of ancient civilizations: Egyptian stability, Babylonian precision, Persian enlightenment, Indian philosophy, Chinese Taoism/Buddhism/Confucianism, Polynesian kapu, Incan absolutism and efficiency, Mayan oligarchy, Aztec judicial independence, Cheyenne volunteerism, and the Iroquois Confederacy's sage balancing of power. How did these systems arise? What are the trends? Polytheism to monotheism, or monotheism to polytheism? Decentralization or centralization of power? Fewer laws or more laws? Gentleness or brutality? Book II, The Cornerstone, focuses on a unique people who many believe have influenced the world more than any other. In a canon of 39 books, the Hebrews established the Tanakh (Old Testament). How did the Hebrew constitution function, and upon what precepts was it based? Are the Ten Commandments truly the foundation of Western Law? Why is their influence so often overlooked today? Volume II: Classical and Medieval. Book III, The Structure, turns to Greece and Rome. Hailed as the birthplace of democracy, the Athenian system was unstable, inefficient, and short-lived. Nevertheless, Plato laid a philosophical basis for natural law, and Aristotle provided a foundation for justice. Rome had a genius for law and organization, but the constitutional constraints of the Republic gradually gave way to the Empire. However, the followers of Christ, once a persecuted minority, came to rule the Empire and put a Christian stamp on Roman law. Out of Roman law the rise of the Canon law of the Church occurs. The Sharia law of Islam is also surveyed. Book IV, The Centerpiece, begins with the Dark Ages--the darkness of the womb, out of which was born the Common Law. From the Celtic mists, with the Druids and their Brehon lawyers, St. Patrick and the Senchus Mor, the Anglo-Saxons in the forests of Germany with their witans and juries which they brought to Britain, Alfred the Great who began his Book of Dooms with the Ten Commandments, to the Norman Conquest and the warfare between the centralizing Norman kings and their opponents, the precepts and institutions of the Common Law took form. What is the Common Law? If it is so common, why is it so seldom defined? How does it relate to Canon law or civil law? And is it Christian, Roman, or a fusion of both? Volume III: Reformation and Colonial. Book V, The Pinnacle, examines the Lutheran and Calvinist Reformations, whereby the doctrines of justification by grace through faith and the priesthood of all believers led to republican concepts of government by consent of the governed, social contract, God-given rights, and justified resistance against tyranny. Constitutional jurists such as Selden, Milton, Coke, Althusius, Grotius, Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone fused Biblical theology with the Common Law. To take root and grow, the Common Law needed fresh soil. In Book VI, The Beacon, the Anglicans establish the Common Law in Jamestown and the Southern Colonies, Puritans in the New England Colonies, Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics, and others in the Middle Colonies. In 1776 they took the ultimate republican step of declaring independence. When, in 1787, 55 delegates gathered in Independence Hall to draft a Constitution, they did not write on a blank slate. Rather, they were prepared with thousands of years of "echoes of Eden," Holy Writ, and the Common Law. The event, Washington said, was "in the hands of God." This book provides information and answers, but just as important are the questions it raises about the nature, purpose, and source of law. Jurists have articulated it, philosophers have theorized about it, theologians have explored the moral principles that underlie it. Statesmen have enacted it, judges have interpreted it, sheriffs have enforced it, soldiers have defended it, kings have implemented it. And then, after the fact, people have written about it, to try to explain what it is, and what it should be. This is a journey worth taking, for its insight into mankind's legal heritage. The truths contained in these volumes will reverberate to future generations who may well need reminding, even as needed today, of the foundations as well as the Founder of the unique American system of Law.

Book Synopsis Biblical Law and Its Relevance by : Joe M. Sprinkle
Download or read book Biblical Law and Its Relevance written by Joe M. Sprinkle and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the laws of the Pentateuch from theological, historical, moral, and spiritual perspectives. Theologically, this book raises a question of hermeneutics: What are Christians to make of the law? 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. In pursuing this goal, this book employs a comparative-legal methodology that examines biblical laws in their ancient Near Eastern historical setting and in comparison with rabbinic, modern, and especially cuneiform laws. It seeks to determine the original significance of the lex talionis formula ("eye for an eye") and the rules of clean / unclean. It also surveys how the laws were administered from the time of Joshua to the end of the Old Testament period. From an ethical-spiritual viewpoint, this book shows how the laws were meant to foster a relationship with God and identifies the ethical relevance of the laws to today's issues of abortion, rights of the underclass, theft, divorce, sexuality, and the conduct of war.

Book Synopsis This is Your Life? by : Christopher Fry
Download or read book This is Your Life? written by Christopher Fry and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Is Your Life is about the journey to the center of your mind (Twilight Zone music in the background). Well maybe not quite the center, but it challenges the premise that we are mechanical beings living in a mechanical world. Contrary to the popular cultural voice that says, "Resistance is futile, assimilated you will be . . ." (Yoda), people are tired, broken, and poor from living in this Marxist socialist paradise. If we can reclaim a true definition of liberty, perhaps we can achieve a Modern Reformation. The human experience we call life is mind, body, and spirit. If any one of these is missing, we die. Our culture has been trying to convince us for decades that we are mind and body, but without any spirit. People have been treated as if they were automobiles to be driven, manipulated, and finally discarded when their benefits run out. The results of this philosophy have been disastrous. The fruits of Marxist philosophy today are the same as they have been throughout history: to lie, steal, kill, and destroy, leaves death in its wake and itself ultimately self-destructs in a suicidal fit of rage. A Christian philosophy will emerge out of the ash heap, hopefully sooner rather than later. We must recognize that every human being is different than every other person who has ever been. We are like a microcosm, an entire universe contained in this human body. The spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm and twice as dangerous. Unless we wish to continue living like a zombie (in mind and body denying the spirit), we must understand the spiritual aspect in order to experience true life. This Is Your life recognizes the fact that we all have an appointment with Revelation 20:12, "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And they were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done." The books are our life stories. We are all writing a book, and each day is another page in our book. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all there. The book of life is also there. There was a show from the 1960s and '70s called This Is Your Life. The host Ralph Edwards always had a book in his hand. He would walk up to the person being highlighted and say, "So and so, this is your life." They would have events and people from their past and things on their life journey that helped make them who they were. This is how one might imagine it could be when we stand before the Lord.
