QUESTION 99

The Precepts of the Old Law

PREAMBLE

 

The Precepts of the Old Law

 

We next have to consider the precepts of the Old Law—first, the distinction among the precepts (question 99) and, second, each of the distinct types of precepts (questions 100‑105).
On the first topic there are six questions:  (1) Does the Old Law contain many precepts or just one precept?  (2) Does the Old Law contain any moral precepts? (3) Does the Old Law contain ceremonial precepts in addition to the moral precepts?  (4) Does the Old Law contain judicial precepts in addition to the moral and ceremonial precepts?  (5) Does the Old Law contain any type of precept besides these three?  (6) How did the Old Law induce the observance of these precepts?
