God, Justice, and Society: Aspects of Law and Legality in the Bible (repost)

Jonathan Burnside, "God, Justice, and Society: Aspects of Law and Legality in the Bible"
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN 10: 0199759219 | 2010 | PDF | 584 pages | 4.2 MB

What is the real meaning of 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'? Where did the idea for the 'Jubilee 2000' and 'Drop the Debt' campaigns come from? And what, really, are the 'Ten Commandments'? In God, Justice, and Society, Jonathan Burnside looks at aspects of law and legality in the Bible, from the patriarchal narratives in the Hebrew Bible through to the trials of Jesus in the New Testament. He explores the nature of biblical law, legal thinking, and legal institutions by setting the biblical texts in their literary, social, and theological context.
