Inhaltsangabe

This important early twentieth-century work at the intersection of law, biblical studies, and legal history examines key biblical narratives as if they were legal cases, applying principles of jurisprudence, evidence, procedure and judicial reasoning to stories from the Bible. Many of the chapters were first published in legal and biblical periodicals (e.g., The Green Bag and Biblical World) before being compiled into this book.The book reflects a pioneering interdisciplinary approach that was innovative for its time. Amram analyzes well-known biblical episodes-such as inheritance disputes, judgments, and moral transgressions-not as theology alone, but as formative expressions of legal thought and social order.Offering valuable insight into Progressive-Era legal scholarship, early comparative law studies, and the historical interpretation of biblical texts, it remains valuable to legal historians, scholars of religion, and readers fascinated by the roots of legal reasoning in ancient narrative.David Werner Amram [1866-1939] was a prominent lawyer, legal scholar and an early American Zionist. Also a notable scholar, he published several books on the Bible and Talmud.ix, 220 pp.
