“Alex Soto’s book is what he intended it to be: a reference guide to the laws of Moses and a book for an ‘expedited ethics education.’ It is useful on several levels. First, it defends the detailed and abiding authority of Biblical law against forms of antinomianism. Second, it brilliantly refutes natural law theory. And third, it shows that John Calvin took Biblical law, including the Old Testament case laws, seriously as authoritative for human society and civil government. The author’s attitude can be seen in his own words: ‘Understanding the will of the Lord, especially the detailed Mosaic portion, is prerequisite to making the nations Christ’s disciples.’”

“The law of God, among other things, describes what love should actually look like in complicated situations. Alex Soto is to be commended for his labor in gathering together in one place the wisdom of Calvin’s reflections on the law of God. This book looks to be a quite helpful pastoral resource.”
