Why don't you give exact delivery time?

This Companion offers a comprehensive overview&&&160;of&&&160;the history, nature, and legacy of biblical law.&&&160; Examining the debates that swirl around the nature of biblical law, it explores its historical context, the significance of its rules, and its influence on early Judaism and Christianity. The volume also interrogates key questions: Were&&&160;the&&&160;rules intended to function as ancient Israel's statutory law? Is there evidence to indicate that they served a different purpose? What is the relationship between&&&160;this&&&160;legal material and other parts of the Hebrew Bible? Most importantly, the book provides an in-depth look at the content of the Torah's laws, with individual essays on substantive, procedural, and ritual law. With contributions from an international team of experts, written specially for this volume,&&&160;The Cambridge Companion to&&&160;Law in the Hebrew Bible&&&160;provides an up-to-date look at scholarship on biblical law and outlines themes and topics for future research.
