We are often reminded that the Old Testament is the book of law and that the New Testament is the book of grace. As for me, while I accept the fact that the law is of paramount importance in the Old Testament and that Christ's saving grace is the one great theme of the New Testament, I am convinced that the Old and New Testaments are inseparable....

I believe it is important that we realize that there are two kinds of law. There is God's law and there is man's law. There would be chaos in the world if there were no government.... Government is our means for keeping order, removing violent offenders from society, settling disputes between individuals, and providing community services.
