Russell's book is a provocative and challenging look at the Bible from a legal perspective. He argues that the Bible can be read as a legal document, one that offers guidance on issues of morality and justice. Russell discusses topics such as the Old Testament law, the Gospel narratives, and the Book of Revelation, analyzing each from the perspective of modern legal theory. This book will be of interest to biblical scholars, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of law and religion.
