From leading Old Testament scholar Douglas A. Knight comes the
latest volume in the Library of Ancient Israel series. Using
socio-anthropological theory and archaeological evidence, Knight
argues that while the laws in the Hebrew Bible tend to reflect the
interests of those in power, the majority of ancient
Israelites--located in villages--developed their own unwritten
customary laws to regulate behavior and resolve legal conflicts in
their own communities. This book includes numerous examples from
village, city, and cult.
Volumes in the Library of Ancient Israel draw on multiple
disciplines--such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology,
linguistics, and literary criticism--to illuminate the everyday
realities and social subtleties these ancient cultures experienced.
This series employs sophisticated methods resulting in original
contributions that depict the reality of the people behind the
Hebrew Bible and interprets these insights for a wide variety of
readers.
