Drew Johnson

Drew Johnson, a Professor of Religion at Hope College and author of Understanding Biblical Law, dives deep into the role of biblical law as a tool for moral reasoning. He argues that laws in Exodus-Deuteronomy promote care for the vulnerable rather than merely restricting behavior. Drew contrasts biblical law with modern legal systems, highlighting its unique narrative embedding and wisdom-like qualities. The discussion includes how stories, like that of Rahab, enrich the application of laws and emphasizes the importance for Christians to better engage with the Torah.
