&;This very handy introduction takes a conceptual approach to biblical law, organizing this subject in terms of its ancient legal sources, social institutions, judicial procedure, crime and punishment, property and contracts, personal rights and status, and family relationships from betrothal to inheritance. Because of its thematic arrangement, this presentation speaks to the selective reader who seeks specific information and also to the comprehensive student who seeks a broad understanding of the ancient Hebrew legal system. Long out of print, Hebrew Law in Biblical Times (1964) now appears in an improved, second edition. While retaining the original character of Falk's style and observations, this book has been edited to serve the modern reader and researcher. Falk&;s 1977 addenda have also been included, along with a comprehensive bibliography of his lifetime publications.&;

About the Author

Ze'ev W. Falk (11 May 1923 - 19 September 1998) studied Jewish history, Talmud, and international relations in the Faculty of the Humanities at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem from 1949 to 1952, completing his Ph.D. in 1959. He spent three years in private legal practice and then served as legal advisor to the Israel Ministry of Welfare from 1955 to 1961 and as legal advisor to the Ministry of the Interior from 1960 to 1965.

Professor Falk was on the Faculty of Law at Hebrew University in Jerusalem in various academic capacities from 1952 to 1988. He also taught as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tel Aviv from 1964 to 1969. He founded the Jewish law yearbook Dine Israel, and he edited the journal Siah Meisharim. In addition, he authored twelve books as well as numerous scholarly articles on biblical research, the Talmud, Jewish law and history, rabbinical literature and philosophy, and religious poetry.

A popular and personable lecturer, he enjoyed several appointments as a visiting professor at several institutions of higher learning in the United States (Temple University, University of California at Berkeley, New York University, Hamline University), as well as others in Germany, Brazil, and Russia. His driving mission was to understand and communicate the intersections between law and religion and emphasis on the Jewish experience.
