From Law to Grace: One Bible Student's Search for Truth

      It was shortly after graduating from Western Seminary that I found myself on the staff of a small church in Vancouver, Washington, teaching an adult Sunday School class on the Bible. We covered such topics as inspiration, how we got the Bible, inerrancy, and interpretation of scripture. I found that I really enjoyed exploring these questions with a group of interested Christians. So I started thinking of topics for future classes.

      One subject that seemed interesting was the change in the role of the Law from the Old Testament until now. I knew from seminary days that the Law that God gave to Moses was no longer applicable to the church today, but I really didn't know any of the details of the change. So I chose that as my topic: How We Got from Law to Grace. Then I began studying the issue. The following pages explore the results of this study and some of the surprising conclusions that I came to.
