The Lost World of the Torah: Law as Covenant and Wisdom in Ancient

Context (The Lost World Series, Volume 6)

Our handling of what we call biblical law veers between controversy and neglect.On the

one hand, controversy arises when Old Testament laws seem either odd beyond

comprehension (not eating lobster) or positively reprehensible (executing children). On

the other, neglect results when we consider the law obsolete, no longer carrying any

normative power (tassels on clothing, making sacrifices). Even readers who do attempt

to make use of the Old Testament &quotlawquot often find it either irrelevant,

hopelessly laden with &quotthoshalt nots,&quotor simply so confusing that they throw

up their hands in despair. Despite these extremes, people continue to propose moral

principles from these laws as &quotthebiblical view&quotand to garner proof texts to

resolve issues that arise in society. The result is that both Christians and skeptics

regularly abuse the Torah, and its true message often lies unheard.Walton and Walton

offer in The Lost World of the Torah a restorative vision of the ancient genre of

instruction for wisdom that makes up a significant portion of the Old Testament. In the

ancient Near East, order was achieved through the wisdom of those who governed

society. The objective of torah was to teach the Israelites to be wise about the kind of

order needed to receive the blessings of God&#8217sfavor and presence within the

context of the covenant. Here readers will find fresh insight on this fundamental genre

of the Old Testament canon.The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set

by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and

knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical

topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
