Synopsis

A rigorous, approachable guide to understanding biblical law and its covenants.

This volume explains how jural laws in the Pentateuch work, and how they fit with other topics in the biblical text, from oaths to covenants. The author surveys modern scholarship to show how scholars view the origins and dates of these laws. It also introduces key terms and ideas, such as mitsvah, torah, and the difference between pillar-covenants and token-covenants. The book compares biblical law with other legal systems, including Roman law, and discusses how these laws were transmitted and interpreted.

• What jural laws are and how they function in the Pentateuch
• Technical terms like mitsvah, statutes, and torah, and their uses in covenants
• The pillar-covenant and token-covenant frameworks and their significance
• How modern critical scholarship views the Hexateuch and its sources

Ideal for readers of biblical studies, theology, and legal history who want a clear, non-specialist introduction to these topics.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
