Laying Down the Law

Keith Augustus Burton’s Laying Down the Law presents a balanced and enlightening exploration of the law of God as a reflection of divine love. Rejecting extremes on both sides—whether legalistic demands or dismissive disregard—Burton encourages readers to rediscover the law’s redemptive intent. By integrating biblical interpretation with real-life stories, he shows how the law guides believers toward a relationship of reverent obedience, not fear, within the context of grace.

Specific Detail Info

Laying Down the Law by Keith Augustus Burton examines the role and meaning of God’s law from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Through each chapter, Burton addresses misunderstandings about the law—such as legalism and the dismissal of law in the name of grace—by weaving together biblical passages, personal anecdotes, and cultural-historical insights. He contrasts the Pharisees’ rigid adherence to human traditions with the compassionate law of Christ and invites readers to see how the law reflects God’s character and purpose.
