Legal scholar Daniel Friedmann explores the legal, moral, and political aspects of well-known and dramatic biblical tales. Friedmann's analyses include reference to ancient law codes, mythology, literature, the history of law, as well complex contemporary issues, ranging from marriage and maternity disputes to religious and national identity. To kill and take possession reveals how ancient attitudes have had continuing relevance throughout history and up to the present. 000291073 650_0 $$aEthics in the Bible. 000291073 650_0 $$aJewish law. 000291073 650_0 $$aMurder$$xBiblical teaching. 000291073 85200 $$bgen$$hBS680.E84$$iF7513$$i2002 000291073 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hend031/2002012404.html 000291073 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:291073$$pGLOBAL_SET 000291073 980__ $$aBIB 000291073 980__ $$aBOOK 000291073 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
