Once again we hear Daube's voice, patient and probing, as he turns over, tests, pushes fresh inquiries, and finds new insights. No man has had such a subtle sense of scriptural texts matched by such a supple sense of the practices and peculiarities of human beings engaged in the legal process. \u003ci\u003eLaw and Wisdom in the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e is classic Daube.\" mdash;John T.

In \u003ci\u003eLaw and Wisdom in the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e, the first published collection of his 1964 Gifford Lectures, Daube derives from his complex understanding of biblical texts both ancient and contemporary notions about wisdom, justice, and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addressing these and other profound issues, Daube crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries and bridges the\u003cbr\u003egap between humanism and religion, especially with regard to Christianity and Judaism. With his sophisticated understanding of Talmudic law and literature, his thinking, which is on full display in these lectures, revolutionized prevailing perceptions about the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Daube\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599473453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599473451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Templeton Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"David Daube","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078480425215,"sku":"9781599473451","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7e3e1d7-4bfa-4e96-98fa-27cc6839eb91.jpg?v=1685475759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-and-wisdom-in-the-calum-carmichael-9781599473451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
