Law and order

While acknowledging that the Decalogue was given to a redeemed people, the writers of this book see three uses of God’s moral law as summarised in the Ten Commandments: ‘To convict the sinner of sin, to restrain evil [and] to guide the Christian’. The book’s contributors, 11 Australian Presbyterian ministers and scholars, believe ‘one cannot genuinely preach the gospel without the law’ (p.2).
