Lois~
Thanks for the reply. I went with RVL to Israel this past Fall and he wanted to know why I was so familiar with Rabbinical thought. I, of course, gave you much of the credit. I will be using your book “Listening to the Language of the Bible” starting this week in my Sunday School class.

Darin – Glad you’re grappling with the hard questions with other people. I agree with your historical approach, but I don’t have a book I can just hand you. The most cogent discussions I’ve heard about the ancient law codes have been by conservative Jewish Bible scholars. I never hear them take the defensive attitude that many Christians often have. I shared some of my favorite Jewish Bible sources in this blog post. I discussed some of these issues about the Torah in Sitting in the Feet on pages 145-161.

I debate biblical/religious issues with a deep-thinking skeptic. He uses some of those “hard-to-swallow” laws from the Torah to dispute the Bible. I use the historical-context argument to explain those laws pertaining to slavery, etc. Do have any more suggestions on how I can plant seeds in this young man’s heart and mind?
