Rethinking the Law (Eric Lane)
$11.50$14.99
One of the hardest questions Christians face about the Bible is, “What do I do with the Old Testament law?” This book answers that question in a way both biblically faithful and Christ-exalting. You will find yourself deeply motivated to serve Jesus out of love rather than guilt.
Anyone who reads the Bible from cover to cover quickly realizes that a radical shift occurs between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Many things are different. One of the major differences has to do with the concept of law. It is clear that the Law given to Israel does not simply spill over into the Christian life. And yet, there are connections and overlaps between them. How do we make sense of this?

Rethinking the Law
One of the hardest questions Christians face about the Bible is, “What do I do with the Old Testament law?” This book answers that question in a way both biblically faithful and Christ-exalting. You will find yourself deeply motivated to serve Jesus out of love rather than guilt.
Anyone who reads the Bible from cover to cover quickly realizes that a radical shift occurs between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Many things are different. One of the major differences has to do with the concept of law. It is clear that the Law given to Israel does not simply spill over into the Christian life. And yet, there are connections and overlaps between them. How do we make sense of this?
This question has received many attempted answers, but too often they have been driven more by theological assumptions than clear biblical teaching. Rethinking the Law is a fresh exception. It looks at what God Himself says about Law and laws in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It keeps things in their historical contexts and shows how Jesus changes everything about the role of law in our lives.

But I Say Unto You (John Reisinger)
$9.50A study of the Sermon on the Mount which takes Jesus at His word. He is our authority and lawgiver. He is our standard in the Kingdom of God.
Did Jesus change anything from the Law of Moses with His so-called Sermon on the Mount or was He correcting rabbinical errors that had crept in along the way?
This book argues persuasively that Jesus was not simply rubber-stamping the great hero of the Old Covenant, but was actually presenting Himself as the new and superior lawgiver just as He is the new and superior priest to Aaron. Getting this right (or wrong) has significant implications for how one reads the Bible and, perhaps even more importantly, what standard one uses in his or her pursuit of righteousness. Jesus, not Moses, is our Lord. We must listen to Him.
