Abstract
Description
Professor Douglas Knight looks at the political and economic structures which were in place when the Hebrew Bible was written. He questions "Whose text is it?" What political and economic goals were the writers of the text trying to attain? What can be learned from a "political and ideological reading of the biblical laws?"
