WCF Admirer
Puritan Board Freshman
Hoping someone on the forum could help with this question:
The standard understanding of 'the law' is based on WCF 19.3 to 19.5 - with the categories 'moral', 'civil' and 'ceremonial'.
Could someone provide a systematic breakup of which of the commands in particularly the first 5 books (Torah) are considered 'moral' and 'civil' prescriptions (and which still apply today).
The Jews have a standard list of 613 mitzvot (commands) and then through an exegitical processs - end up with about 268 that still apply today.
I am hoping there is a reference guide that the Puritans; or any other scholar; has completed in regards to a clear & systematic classification of the 'moral' & 'civil' prescriptions that still apply today.
James Jordan has a book called 'The law of the Covenant' regarding Ex 21 to 23 - which is a nice start - but I am hoping there is a fuller & concise list of prescriptions for the first 5 books.
Thanks in advance.
