Inventing God's Law: How the Covenant Code of the Bible Used and Revised the Laws of Hammurabi
Wright, David P. (Professor of Bible and Ancient Near East, Professor of Bible and Ancient Near East, Brandeis University, Boston, MA, United States)
David Wright offers a boldly revisionist account of the origin of the so-called Covenant Collection of the Torah (Exodus 20:23-23:19). He argues that this body of law depends mainly on the Laws of Hammurabi and to some extent on other cuneiform law collections, that it is chiefly the work of a single author, and that it may have had a politically ideological purpose, somewhat similar to that of the Laws of Hammurabi.
