The Borabu Question, Kenya: Challenges of the Observance of God’s Law

Description

This book is a vivid inquiry of a theological perception of God’s Law recorded in the book of Exodus, and the challenges which affect its compliance by the adherents in every dispensation. In its background, the book examines the major categories of God’s law which includes eternal law, divine law, natural law and human law. The book also analyzes challenges of the Hebrews in their attempt to observe God’s law. Furthermore, the book synthesizes the impact of negating the observance of God’s law in the Contemporary church. The book stresses the significance of executing God’s law which include but not limited to enhancing both the Christian and national values. It also systematically examines the influence of the major teachings of the Seventh Day Adventists Church in Kenya. Since the book deals with a theological theme, it is the objective of the author that it will complement useful ingredients in the discipline of church history and the Old Testament studies. The book establishes that if the people of Kenya subscribe to the guidance of God’s law, Kenya shall meet her targets of industrialization, growth in agriculture, engineering, housing and good living.

Exhibiting language command, coherent and logical flow of facts, and a discernible structure, this reader-friendly text provides a theological perspective of the disconnect between the actual meaning of God’s law and the Christian misunderstanding of the law. Of import, the author suggest ways towards correcting this malady [ Dr. Wilson O. Shitandi; School of Music & Performing Arts, Kabarak University, Kenya].
