The Law of Christ
Leiter’s The Law of Christ is a balanced and judicious treatment of some of the most frequently debated theological issues. Its focal point is, the biblical emphasis of putting the Lord Jesus Christ at the center of everything in the believer’s life, fleshing out for the Christian how to approach issues such as ethics, law, Scripture reading, love, and many other things pertinent to our walk.
When Christians begin to search the Scriptures for guidance on godly living, they will eventually encounter trouble caused by the two major manifestations of God’s will. The first is the Law of Moses, given by God Himself to Israel at Mount Sinai amid thunder, flame, and terror. The second is the person of Jesus, the very Son of God, with His lofty teachings and bright example. When we begin to ponder these manifestations, questions arise and demand answers: Why are they so different, or seem so different, when they are both from God? Should Christians actively follow the Law of Moses, even though so much of it clearly does not apply directly to us? Does Jesus uphold the Mosaic Law as an abiding ethical authority? If so, why does He seem to depart from it sometimes?
Three Key Sections
This helpful book from Pastor Charles Leiter is an attempted answer to these questions. He addresses the issue in three parts.
In Part One, he describes the broader question of how the Abrahamic, Old, and New Covenants relate to one another. He concludes that all Old Testament history and promise culminates in Christ, and he presents several rules for Bible interpretation derived from this fact.
Part Two focuses on the freedom from the Law of Moses which Christians enjoy, as described in the New Testament. He demonstrates what this means and does not mean, shows how exactly the Law of Moses remains relevant for the Christian, and finally proves that Christ is superior to Moses and that He does give new principles for life in His new kingdom.
Part Three is concerned with two ideas. First, Pastor Leiter explains “the Law of Christ,” which fundamentally is the “new commandment” to love one another as He has loved us: love informed by Christ’s own example. Second, he shows that the Holy Spirit’s help is necessary for obedience to this commandment and that the Holy Spirit truly does create Christlikeness in the Christian. The books ends with several appendices, meant to address various important topics not discussed in the main text.

Abraham’s Four Seeds (John Reisinger)
$9.25Abraham’s Four Seeds is a biblical examination of the presuppositions of Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism. Pastor, evangelist, and author John G. Reisinger demonstrates how a correct understanding of Abraham’s seeds is key to harmonizing Scripture. He writes:
The following statement, if correctly understood, will help to clear up a lot of confusion: The nation of Israel was not the ‘Body of Christ,’ even though the Body of Christ is indeed the true ‘Israel of God.’Covenant Theology cannot accept the first part of that statement and Dispensationalism cannot accept the second part. The basic presuppositions of Covenant Theology make it mandatory that Israel be the church and be under the same covenant as the church, and the one thing a Dispensationalist must maintain is the church’s present and future distinction from Israel which makes it mandatory that Israel and the church can never be under the same covenant or inherit the same blessings. What is essential to one system is anathema to the other system.

The Spirit and the Law: Defining and Escaping Legalism (Stan Choate)
$14.95This book is unique in that it seeks to deal with the subject of legalism by defining it, rather than by name-calling.
Perhaps one of the single, greatest reasons people find themselves in legalistic practices is because they simply don’t know how to rightly identify legalism. In light of this, Stan Choate is seeking to address this issue among the people of God. Legalism is a very real danger, and the Scriptures deal with it directly, though the Bible never uses that specific term. Christians often use the phrase carelessly and usually in an accusatory manner, resulting in a shallow and sloppy understanding that doesn’t actually bring any clarity or help in our spiritual battles. The conviction of this book is that just like any other issue in the Christian life, we ought to remain confident that God has truly given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness in Christ, and that His Word is sufficient as a guide for us if we will pay attention to it. Therefore, by the guidance of Scripture and the Spirit of God, we ought to address this issue and learn first how to escape it ourselves, and second, how to help those around us to do the same.
