Why don’t Christians keep the Old Covenant laws?

In today’s episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn and Rob Corzine discuss why Christians rightly reject portions of the Mosaic law while still acknowledging it as part of God’s inspired Word.

Pointing to both the continuity and discontinuity between the Old and New Testaments, they discuss how the ancient rabbis viewed the Mosaic law, what led Peter and the early Church to abrogate “the law,” and how the early Church Fathers tackled this question.

This episode will transform how you understand the Old Covenant in light of the New.
