Biblical Law: A Text of the Statutes, Ordinances, and Judgments of the Bible
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Written in the style of a law reference guide, Biblical Law is a layman’s compendium of the Bible’s applications to all manners of contemporary society. Now with a new introduction by Gary DeMar, Clark’s classic exposé finds itself in a prime position to educate a whole new generation of Christians.
With topics ranging from war and taxation to contracts and loans, from marriage and hospitality to welfare and husbandry, Clark’s expositions are as practical as they are scriptural.
Since Biblical Law is fully integrated with Logos, Scripture passages are linked to your favorite translation for quick reference and to your Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts for original-language study! You can also read this volume along with your Bible dictionaries, encyclopedias, and the wealth of other Bible study tools in your digital library.

Top Highlights
“‘We whose names are underwritten do hereby solemnly in the presence of Jehovah incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick and as He shall help, will submit our persons, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given in His Holy Word of truth, to be guided and judged thereby.’ The following Bible passages accompany the text: Exodus 24:3–4; 2 Chronicles 11:3; 2 Kings 11:17.” (Page xxv)
“The ‘law of God,’ the ‘commands of God’ (1 Cor. 7:19), the ‘law of Christ,’ and the ‘law of Moses’ are virtually synonymous.” (Page xviii)
“There is no indication that the moral law of God has passed away even if we might not always know how to apply it.” (Page ix)
“Moreover, many of the rules of Biblical law are rules of universal jurisprudence which are essential to the existence of any organized society and which, had they not come down to us in the Scriptures or in some other ancient writing, we would have been obliged to formulate or invent for ourselves.” (Page 22)
“Theological liberalism, also known as ‘modernism,’ teaches that the God of the Old Testament was a God of wrath and law, while the God of the New Testament (Jesus) is the God of love and grace.” (Page xiv)
