Description: Like the facts of a legal case, the veracity of a Biblical story is irrelevant to its role of adding depth to a legal rule or axiom. Like the facts in a seminal Supreme Court case, the stories of the people in the Bible provide the context necessary to fully comprehend the values they adhered to and incorporated into law.
Review Quotes:
"George P. Fletcher has one of the finest legal minds in the world. Applying his thought and analysis to Biblical matters pushes this book beyond interesting to the level of exciting. Eschewing simplistic assumptions, Fletcher and a number of bright respondents engage in insightful discussions that provide deep insight. It's a book you will want to read, contemplate, and reference again."
