Such new beginnings enshrine both hope and doubt for the future, as in the account of the rebuilding of life after the Flood (Genesis 9). In this subtle analysis, Stahl observes how frequently one component of these liminal moments is law, offering as it does stability and order in a chaotic world but also resonating with the ambiguities inherent in the narrative history. In the Bible, law as well as narrative is multi-voiced.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;202.Jewish lawElectronic books.Jewish law.220.6222/.1106223/.906Stahl Nanette974254MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454424903321Law and liminality in the Bible2217969UNINA
