William’s Reviews > The Lost World of the Torah: Law as Covenant and Wisdom in Ancient Context > Status Update
William
is on page 112 of 256
Roughly 100 pages in and nothing particularly controversial so far:
• Torah isn't modern/western statutory law, but is "instruction" more in keeping with wisdom literature
• Torah is aimed primarily at creating/maintaining order
• Holiness is a status conferred by the Lord as he claims/marks a people as his own
• Torah is a vehicle for Israel to enhance the Lord's reputation amongst the nations
