Phrases like \"but I say\" are commonly used to suggest a new or higher law. Yet Jesus was not opposing the law-He was calling Israel back to obedience to it in its entirety, distinguishing between \"heavier\" and \"lighter\" commandments, not abolishing any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this concise and corrective study, Darius Good presents the Sermon on the Mount as a legal and covenantal restoration, not the birth of a new religion. Speaking as a Jewish teacher born under the law, Jesus exposes the loopholes, traditions, and misapplications that had corrupted justice, marriage, righteousness, and mercy in first-century Israel. His teaching sought to restore faithful observance of the law, from the greatest commandment to the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on biblical text and historical and cultural context, this book reveals how distorted interpretations-especially regarding divorce, adultery, oaths, and retaliation-produced real victims, particularly women and the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar from an abstract spiritual manifesto, the Sermon on the Mount is a bold call to repentance, justice, and covenant faithfulness-one that still challenges modern Christianity to separate doctrine from tradition, and truth from doctrend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJesus did not change the law.
