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.
- Loving God
- Loving one’s neighbor
- Family Regulations
- Typological
- Jew/Gentile Cultural Separation
- Human Judicial Response
- Levitical Priesthood Regulations
- Israelite Land Regulations
The above should be considered non-exclusive "categories," rather than "divisions."
