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 "lawquot often find it either irrelevant,
hopelessly laden with "thoshalt nots,"or simply so confusing that they throw
up their hands in despair. Despite these extremes, people continue to propose moral
principles from these laws as "thebiblical view"and 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’sfavor 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.
