What should Christians do with all the laws in the Old Testament?
The Old Testament tells the story of the beginnings of God's
salvation history, and it is part of the authoritative canon of
Scripture affirmed by the church. But what role should the laws of
the old covenant play in the lives of those living under the new
covenant? Can Christians embrace the commandment to "love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength" but ignore the laws regarding clean and unclean
food? Some have suggested that Christians remain under the moral
laws of the old covenant, while others have argued that some of the
Old Testament laws-for example, the Ten Commandments-still apply to
Christians. James Todd makes a bold claim by contending that as
followers of Jesus Christ who stand under a new covenant,
Christians are no longer subject to any of the Old Testament laws.
Focusing on the laws of the Pentateuch, he then addresses the
proper role and benefits of the Old Testament laws in the Christian
life. With wit and insight, Todd helps Christians to understand how
the laws given to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai should be
read by those called to live as saints.
