Understanding Christian Perspectives on Old Testament Laws
This chapter explores the ways in which Christians rationalize which laws from the Hebrew Bible are still relevant and which ones are not. It delves into the division of laws into moral, ceremonial, and civil categories, the interpretation of various biblical laws, and the concept of negotiating with the texts. The chapter also addresses misconceptions about the sin of Sodom, Paul's understanding of same-sex intercourse, and the need to contextualize biblical teachings within their historical and social frameworks.
