John Walton is an author and Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College. He has a Ph.D. of Hebrew and Cognate Studies from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. In this episode, we discuss his book, The Lost World of the Torah. We talk about what the Torah is and what is not (legislation v. wisdom), the purpose of the law, if the law was a means to salvation, if the law teaches morality, how to view sensitivities like slavery, capital punishment, patriarchy, tattoos, and much more!
