How Jesus Transforms the Ten Commandments
If Jesus did not abolish the law, then how should we look at the Ten Commandments today?
In How Jesus Transforms the Ten Commandments, Edmund Clowney—a man who Tim Keller said was one of “the fathers of my preaching ministry”—takes the reader through one of the most recognizable, yet misunderstood, passages of Scripture and demonstrates how Jesus fulfills the law and reveals its promise.
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” —Matt. 5:17
In eleven chapters (each with study questions), Clowney goes on to explain how Jesus intensifies the law and expands its scope to every situation in life. But as the author did so often during his ministry, he goes further, finding Christ in the law and showing how He fulfills it for His people. Thus believers will learn more not only of God’s character revealed in the law, but also of the gospel with its focus on Christ.
