Building on the understanding that Israel was a society where writing was the medium for some forms of discourse but not others, where written texts were performed orally and rewritten from oral performances, Robert D. Miller II, OFS, examines law and jurisprudence in this oral-and-literate world. Using Iceland as an ethnographic analogy, Miller shows how law was practiced, performed, and transmitted; the way written artifacts of the law fit into oral performance and transmission; and the relationship of the detritus of law that survives in the Hebrew Bible, both Torah and Proverbs, to that earlier social world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Approaches to Ancient Israel’s Legal World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Icelandic Oral-Written Law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude: Gothic Law as Control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResume: Oral-Written Customary Law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Oral-Written Customary Law in Ancient Israel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Oral Law and Proverbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043446686039,"sku":"9781978715219","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781978715219.jpg?v=1750958260","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/oral-law-of-ancient-israel-9781978715219","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
