Knight\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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 Israelitesâ \"located in villagesâ \"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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolumes in the Library of Ancient Israel draw on multiple disciplinesâ \"such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and literary criticismâ \"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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.07 x 9.12 x 6.39 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45397237071974,"sku":"9780664221447","price":74.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/c3JIUThudk1kVVFFVEpzV1BiZnpuUT09.webp?v=1775415658","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/law-power-and-justice-in-ancient-israel-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
