Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explicates the unique structure and nature of the ancient Hebrew legal system, known as Theocracy. Under Theocracy, the God of Israel, Jehovah, became the temporal king and supreme civil magistrate of the nation, a radical departure from the patriarchial system that preceded it. The author delves into the implications of this innovative shift, exploring how it shaped not only the administration of law, but also the moral and religious consciousness of the Israelites. The book also traces the development of the Hebrew legal system from its humble beginnings to its eventual codification in the Torah, highlighting its profound impact on the development of Western legal systems and ideas about justice. In sum, this book offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the evolution of law and the role of religion in shaping societal values.
