How was it possible that Greeks often wrote their laws on the walls
of their temples, but - in contrast to other ancient societies -
never transformed these written civic laws into a religious law?
Did it matter whether laws were inscribed in stone, clay, or on a
scroll? And above all, how did written law shape a society in which
the majority population was illiterate? This volume addresses the
similarities and differences in the role played by law and religion
in various societies across the Eastern Mediterranean. Bringing
together a collection of 14 essays from scholars of the Hebrew
Bible, Ancient Greece, the Ancient Near East, Qumran, Elephantine,
the Nabateans, and the early Arab world, it also approaches these
subjects in an all-encompassing manner, looking in detail at the
notion of law and religion in the Eastern Mediterranean as a whole
in both the geographical as well as the historical space.
