Paperback, 111 pp.

This is the latest edition (third edition 2020).

This volume is in the "Made Easy Series," which provides "substantial studies on significant issues in a succinct and accessible format from an evangelical and Reformed perspective." These books are designed for lay use and are especially suitable for personal and small group Bible study.

We live in an age of accelerating moral decline which bodes ill for the future of our culture, society, and nation. A stable, peaceful, and productive society requires a secure and righteous moral foundation. Man cannot exist without a moral code to restrain his sinful passions and to guide him to righteous conduct.

Contained within the absolute truth of God's Word we find God's solution to man's moral confusion: God's absolute standard for righteousness contained in his holy Law. Unfortunately, contemporary theological discussions too quickly write-off any consideration of both the legitimacy of God's Law in the new covenant era and the applicability of it in the modern world setting.

Because of the nature of the modern debate and our special need for socio-political as well as personal norms, this book will focus specifically on the question of the relevance of the Old Testament Law today. Christians need to return to a whole-Bible ethic rather than a piece-meal it-seems-to-me morality. God's Law Made Easy is a good place to start.

This book is an updated, corrected, and greatly expanded edition of the 1993 book titled: God's Law in the Modern World: The Continuing Relevance of Old Testament Law.
