Studies in Biblical Law

Renowned scholar David Daube presents a collection of five significant essays that delve into the interplay of law and narrative, exploring themes such as legal codes, the principle of retribution, and communal responsibility. Drawing on his extensive background in biblical and Roman law, Daube's work reflects his deep understanding of Hebrew and Talmudic traditions. Written during his tenure at Cambridge, these essays offer profound insights into the foundations of legal thought and the moral implications of law.
