Functional Categorization of the Law
From Theonomy Wiki
Functional Division of the Law
Rather than attempt to shoehorn our analysis of Biblical law into the traditional tripartite, exclusive categories (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 Separation
- Human Judicial Response
- Levitical Priesthood Regulations
- Israelite Land Regulations
- Ritual Cleanness
The above should be considered non-exclusive "categories," rather than "divisions."
