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.
- Typological
The above should be considered non-exclusive "categories," rather than "divisions."
Categories:
- Law Function:Loving God
- Law Function:Loving one's neighbor
- Law Function:Family Regulations
- Law Function:Sacrificial
- Law Function:Ritual Cleanness
- Law Function:Jew/Gentile Cultural Separation
- Law Function:Human Judicial Response
- Law Function:Levitical Priesthood Regulations
- Law Function:Israelite Land Regulations
