Why then the Law? For many Christians, the answer is quite simple. But what if it's not? What if there is more to the nature and purpose of the Law of God than the over simplified answers we've often heard? In this book, R.L. Watson examines the Scriptures to consider the origins of the Law, and discusses its practical and revelatory purposes. By understanding these realities, the Christian will be able to broaden and refine their answer to this question. More than that, they will be able to see beyond the stereotypes with a fresh appreciation for its role in Salvation History.
