Abstract

In our never-ending quest to convince each other of the proper place of Old Testament law, we often ignore the laws themselves-except, perhaps, the first ten. The remaining six hundred go largely unconsidered. But 2 Timothy 3:16 implies that all the laws are profitable for Christians. This project thus introduces the BETA method-a theocentric, non-legalistic approach to the laws of the Pentateuch by which preachers can interpret and proclaim the laws in a Christian way. This method recognizes the 'transcendent perpetuity' of Old Testament law and is consistent with the three uses of the law as promoted by historic Reformed theology. The project also introduces the legal collections in Exodus, including the Decalogue, the Book of the Covenant, and the tabernacle-priesthood regulations, seeking to pay careful attention to their narrative contexts and historical-cultural backgrounds. These laws have their foundation in grace; they also have their fulfillment in grace.
