How Deuteronomy Shaped Justice in the Early Church

What did Jesus say to the disciples on the Emmaus Road about the Old Testament? Acts 1–15 shows that the early church was guided by Deuteronomy 10 and 15 in forming a just society that operated with forgiveness and economic and ethnic justice. This just society was a powerful witness to the risen Christ! Come consider how the same principles can shape God’s people today.
