Laws of the Bible: Nature of God's Law

"A fascinating book on the subject of Biblical Law entitled The Institues of Biblical Law by Rousas John Rushdoony irrefutably establishes that all law is religious, and that it represents a covenant between man and God which is characterized as divine revelation. When we consider that government is founded exclusively on law, government itself then becomes a religion to implement or execute or enforce divine relation. When government abuses the authority delegated by God through God's law, then it also becomes a false religious cult."
