Revue de presse :

I cannot imagine a better choice for editing this project. Strawn is highly competent and the legal material of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible is one of his areas of expertise. Further, he is both a good and productive writer in the field and a fine editor. He gets things done, stays on top of editorial projects, and works well with authors. He is clearly up on the topic and knows the names of the established and promising younger scholars whom he can draw on for the essays. Furthermore, Strawn has already lined up the best person in the field for his editorial board. John Witte is one of our leading experts in law and legal history. Getting him on board is a real coup. (Patrick Miller Princeton Seminary)

The OEBL should reach a wide range of readers, considering the considerable interest in issues of Bible, Law and politics, especially in the USA. Readers looking for biblical texts about particular legal and religious issues, as well as those interested in the relationship between ancient and modern law, will find it a useful resource. (James W. Watts Syracuse University)
