Biblical Law

This course serves as an introduction to the so-called law collections of the Pentateuch in their biblical and larger ancient Near Eastern contexts. Beyond the law collections, we will consider biblical narratives which assume legal norms and their applications and, if time permits, the reception of biblical law in early Judaism and Christianity.
