Recent discussion of biblical law sees it either as a response to
socio-economic factors or as an intellectual tradition. In either
case it is viewed as the product of elites that form an
international community drawing on a common culture. This book
takes that fundamental discussion a step further by proposing that
'law' is an inappropriate term for the biblical codes, and that
they represent, rather, the 'moral advice' of scribes working
independently of the legal framework and appealing to Yahweh as
authority. Only by prolonged exegesis and through the
transformation of Judaean religion does this 'advice' take the form
of divine law binding on Jews.>
