This book presents a new window on the legal system of Ancient
Israel. Building on the understanding that Israel was a society
where writing was the medium for some forms of discourse but not
others, where written texts were performed orally and rewritten
from oral performances, Robert D. Miller II, OFS, examines law and
jurisprudence in this oral-and-literate world. Using Iceland as an
ethnographic analogy, Miller shows how law was practiced,
performed, and transmitted; the way written artifacts of the law
fit into oral performance and transmission; and the relationship of
the detritus of law that survives in the Hebrew Bible, both Torah
and Proverbs, to that earlier social world.
