A. W. Tozer said "Every time a Christian picks up his Bible he is reminded of his debt to the Jews. It is an astonishing thing that multitudes of Bible students and lovers of the truth should calmly overlook their obligation to Israel."

New Testament and the Law is a study on the validity of the Old Testament Jewish Law and traditions in the life of the modem Christian. In my twenty-plus years of ministry, I have found that many Christians, and even some ministers, suffer real confusion concerning what part the Old Testament still plays in the life of the Believer. Many hold to the idea that the only value and purpose the Torah has is historical and poetical, and that it lacks any real legitimacy in governing the life of the modern-day Believer.

Yet, in spite of this confusion and supposed outdatedness, many Jewish and Gentile Christians have taken up a search for an historical, Biblical lifestyle and have returned to some of the early Jewish traditions and practices as outlined in the Old Testament. And, for some, this search has become a driving force, a zealous attempt to rediscover their scriptural roots and heritage.
