These two ideas are fundamental to the message of the Bible, and yet they are shockingly misunderstood and misapplied. Some take a literal approach to biblical law and adopt customs that make no sense in the modern world. Others think that the law has become irrelevant or, even worse, that it has been abolished and nailed to the cross. They hold this belief in spite of the plain statement by Jesus that the written law would remain as long as heaven and earth last. This suggests that we need to find a new way of looking at biblical law, one that makes sense, that actually helps make life work in the 21st century. Law is about understanding God and his purpose for man. Covenant is closely related because it is about knowing God, personally, intimately, and about being in a relationship with him. Nothing is more central to the Christian relationship with God than the covenant we have with Jesus. In this covenant, you actually carry his name-you are family, with all the rights, privileges and obligations of a brother or a son. Law & Covenant will untangle mysteries and bring simple, understandable insights. Ronald Dart will take you deeper into the Word of God than you've gone before-to a higher logic of the law. He will add an interesting worldview that will make it hard for you to put this book down.

A Must Have,
By
This review is from: Law & Covenant (Paperback)
Law and Covenant is one of the most comprehensive works to date by a seasoned and well reasoned mind. From the aspects of natural and civil law found in today's national courts, compared to the rational aspects of God's Law, Mr. Dart winds his way flawlessly toward the rational conclusion of the great depth of the Bible's logic and loving concern for man expressed originally in Torah, with notes on the development in Mishnaic Law and continuing seamlessly into the New Testament and the every word of Jesus.
His conclusions are often provocative to the reader, but he backs up his points not with dogma, but with a plausible and coherent approach to his reader's common sense... if you have a desire to study a committed Christian apporach to the Law of God in its entirety, with no preconceptions, buy this book.... and then read it twice.

Wonderful book,
By jf6 (Ashtabula, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Law & Covenant (Paperback)
Ron Dart is an accomplished teacher of God's instructions through the bible. He makes you understand the law is a tool for us to use just as it was back before Jesus. We gain the knowledge that the gospel is the old testament & the new is the accounts of those who knew Jesus and who were charged with spreading it through the land. I highly recommend Christians of all backgrounds open your mind to what he has to teach. For those who are not sure about believing in the Judeo-Christian God I can only hope that maybe your open minded thinking would lead you on the path to understanding the one we call the creator of everything.

This review is from: Law & Covenant (Paperback)
This is definitely the best, most Biblically researched work I've ever read on this often debated subject. A must read for every Bible student.
