Roman Law

In "Laws", Plato takes us on a journey to imagine the perfect society — not through dreamy ideals, but with real, practical ideas. The story happens on the island of Crete, where three wise men, including the Athenian Stranger, discuss how to create a city where people live together in peace and justice. Unlike Plato’s earlier works, this one isn’t about a perfect world led by kings, but about building a society that works for everyone.

The 11th volume of the Theological Threads series, The Function of Law in Romans, explores what the apostle Paul meant when he uses "law" in his epistle to the church in Rome. Many polemics have accused Paul of having an inconsistent or self-contradictory message about the Jewish law. However, this treatise researches his preference to explain by moving from problem to solution, the use of 'the age of flesh' and 'the age of the Spirit', and how they resolve the so-called problems with Paul's theology.

Jesus came preaching about the kingdom and his last words to us focused on unity. Within a few years of his departure, the kingdom was facing its first major crisis—the impending split between Jews and Christians. Two millennia later, we continue to divide among ourselves with no end in sight. And yet, we think we have a message to the world about how to get along. Jesus said the world would know him through the love and unity we have with each other. How can that be achieved? Paul gives us answers through his letter to the Romans, if we are able to read with open minds and open hearts.

Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's rule, instead having been thrown in prison.

The Apostle Peter said that Paul wrote things hard to understand. That most definitely applies to his cherished and revered Romans Epistle.

Much like gravity, the law of attraction is a natural law of the universe, and one that governs every interaction you ever have. You can only attract into your experience those things that resonate with you on an emotional and or vibrational level. It is no coincidence that women who marry alcoholics had alcoholic fathers, grandfathers or uncles. What a child experiences in childhood determines that beings emotional set point; their point of attraction.

Paul's most systematic letter and his angriest one were written by the same man, defending the same gospel, to two churches that needed to hear it in almost opposite tones. Galatians was written hot — to congregations Paul feared were one bad sermon away from trading the gospel for circumcision, and he opens by cursing anyone, angel included, who preaches a different one. Romans was written cold and careful — to a church Paul had never visited, laying out the fullest case he ever made for what grace actually does to guilt, law, ethnicity, and belonging, verse by unhurried verse.

The Roman Republic was not designed. It was improvised — by frightened men whose only plan was to build the exact opposite of a king. In 509 BC a group of aristocrats expelled their king and found themselves holding a city with no procedure for running it. What they invented was a reflex, not a constitution: the king had ruled for life, so make the term one year. He had been one man, so make it two. He could not be stopped, so let either man stop the other. Then they handed this deliberately self-obstructing machine to a class of proud, competitive men who had just discovered how much ...
