A standard work in the field of social-historical exegesis, providing an overview of Old Testament law from its earliest traces in pre-monarchical times to its canonization in the Pentateuch.

The book also draws connections to post-biblical Judaism, the New Testament, and contemporary issues. Original retail price: 39.99 euro. Very good condition, see picture.
