This is a book about law and religion. It opens with a study of prophrtic intercession as a response to the tensions inherent in monotheism, the struggles between love and justice that seem to take place within Israel's God. The final chapters concern the rich legal vocabulary in which Israelites expressed ideas of freedom and spontaneity. The intervening essays also deal wiht religious language and concepts in religious contexts.Muffs, Yochanan is the author of 'Love and Joy: Law, Language, and Religion in Ancient Israel - Yochanan Muffs' with ISBN 9780674539327 and ISBN 067453932X.
