Three major essays by Baruch Halpern, Brian Peckham and Paul E.
Dion deal with traumatic changes in Israelite culture, in
particular the transition from the traditional culture of Israel in
Iron Age IIA (tenth-ninth centuries) to a new, more widely literate
culture in the eighth-seventh centuries BCE. These essays throw
into relief changes in legal, political and religious culture in
Judah in the last 150 years of its independence. Their combined
implications for the origins of Western law and civilization, and
for the models from which Reformation and Enlightenment political
theory were drawn, are substantial.
