Functional Categorization of the Law

Rather than attempt to shoehorn our analysis of Biblical law into the traditional tripartite, exclusive divisions (see below), we propose the following set of non-exclusive, functional categories. We hope these help to distinguish the overlapping motives and purposes behind each law.

The above should be considered non-exclusive "categories," rather than "divisions." As this project advances, these categories may be amended to better fit a comprehensive understanding of God's Law and its parts.
