In taking up the discussion of the Law, it is important to define what exactly is meant by the term. Law, in its broad sense, refers to the Scriptures authored by Moses- the first five books of the traditional Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This is also what is termed in Hebrew as "Torah" or books of instruction. Law, in its narrow sense, refers to the list of commandments and regulations placed upon Israel in a special sense and to the whole world in a general sense (cf. Rom.2:14). This could be summed up as "Decalogue" or the Ten Commandments. This is often the way "Law" is used in Paul's writings.
