Publisher's Synopsis
The Enlightened Law of Moses challenges the negative reputation of the Old Testament system of law and aims to restore it to its rightful place as a positive revelation from God.
The law of Moses, as outlined in the early books of the Bible, has been widely criticized by believers and nonbelievers alike. Many hold the opinion that the overall system was impossible to keep-harsh, oppressive, even irrational in parts. Atheists and agnostics often highlight specific aspects of the law as "proof" of its lack of inspiration. For many Christians this creates a disconnect between the God of the Old Testament and Jesus.
Robertson demonstrates that the law of Moses was an enlightened system-one in complete harmony with the teachings of Jesus. It was far ahead of its time, not just a brilliant system of moral, civil, and ceremonial law, but a teaching framework that opens our eyes to understanding God and his purpose for humanity.
In a world where an increasing number of believers are questioning and deconstructing their faith, this in-depth work, written for lay readers, reinforces the integrity, rationality, and inspiration of all of Scripture. What is revealed is both surprising and encouraging.
The Enlightened Law of Moses logically categorizes the law by topic and thoroughly explores the system for real-world practicality, relevance, and alignment to the unchanging character of God. The book is written for the modern-day general reader with the aim of educating, encouraging, and strengthening a person's faith.
