Wisdom-laws : a study of the Mishpatim of Exodus 21:1-22:16 / Bernard S. Jackson.

Bernard Jackson explains how early biblical law differed from the binding rules of the courts in the present day. He shows that adjudication was originally a matter of divinely mediated fairness, while written laws used narrative images and literary devices in order to teach.
