Description

Major innovations have occurred in the study of biblical law in recent decades.

The legal material of the Pentateuch has received new interest with detailed studies of specific biblical passages.

The comparison of biblical practice to ancient Near Eastern customs has received a new impetus with the concentration on texts from actual ancient legal transactions.

The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Law provides a state of the art analysis of the major questions, principles, and texts pertinent to biblical law.

The thirty-three chapters, written by an international team of experts, deal with the concepts, significant texts, institutions, and procedures of biblical law; the intersection of law with religion, socio-economic circumstances, and politics; and the reinterpretation of biblical law in the emerging Jewish and Christian communities.

The volume is intended to introduce non-specialists to the field as well as to stimulate new thinking among scholars working in biblical law.
