Wisdom-Laws

Auteur: Jackson, Bernard S (Alliance Professor of Modern Jewish Studies, University of Manchester)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
We think of law as rules whose words are binding, used by the courts in the adjudication of disputes. Bernard S. Jackson explains that early biblical law was significantly different: adjudication was originally a matter of divinely mediated fairness, while the written laws used narrative images and literary devices in order to teach.
