To correct the imbalance, the focus of this volume is on whether the biblical and cuneiform legal corpora underwent a process of literary revision and interpolation that reflects legal, social, and theological development.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;181.Law (Theology)Biblical teachingJewish lawLaw, Assyro-BabylonianLaw, SumerianLaw (Theology)Biblical teaching.Jewish law.Law, Assyro-Babylonian.Law, Sumerian.221.6222Levinson Bernard M(Bernard Malcolm)858638MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782385403321Theory and method in biblical and cuneiform law3710060UNINA
