Modern books which deal specifically with the Ten Commandments are rare, so this new volume from the pen of Craig Munro is to be welcomed. The author emphasises that law-keeping has played no part in our justification - a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law (Rom 3.28) - and neither does it contribute to our sanctification for, as believers, we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were holden; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter (7.6, Revised Version). However, he contends that the basic moral principles of the law should be worked out in the lives of believers today in the power of the Holy Spirit (8.4).
