Book Synopsis
It is a common belief that scripture has no place in modern, secular politics. The author challenges this notion, arguing that Moses' constitution of Israel, which created people bound by the rule of law, was central to early modern writings about government and state.

Trade Review
"The Mosaic Constitution is an extraordinary work of scholarship - remarkable in its depth and range, remarkable in its implications for the field. The scale and texture of the historical scholarship show the kind of period fluency and scholarly gravitas that will place Graham Hammill squarely in the ranks of the most accomplished of contemporary analysts of the early modern era." (Christopher Pye, Williams College)"
