A Law Book for the Diaspora: Revision in the Study of the Covenant Code

Portada
Oxford University Press, 2002 M11 21 - 248 páginas
The foundation for all study of biblical law is the assumption that the Covenant Code is the oldest legal code in the Hebrew Bible and that all other laws are revisions of that code. This book sets forth the radical hypothesis that those laws in the covenant code that are similar to Deuteronomy and the Holiness Code are in fact later than both of these, and therefore can't be taken as the foundation of Hebrew Law.
