Legal Revision and Religious Renewal in Ancient Israel

About Legal Revision and Religious Renewal in Ancient Israel

This book examines how the Decalogue's concept of divine transgenerational punishment was reworked by writers in ancient Israel, who proposed the alternative idea of individual retribution. Enriched by a bibliographical essay on inner-biblical exegesis, the volume offers perspectives on debates within the humanities about canonicity, textual authority, and authorship.
