Law in the New Testament

This is a valuable book.....It is a work of wide learning. It deals with a topic which as the author states in his preface has been much neglected in spite of the fact that biblical scholars and theologians have always paid lip service to the importance of law in Jewish life. It is a book which should be on the library shelf of every serious student of the New Testament. - Fr. Pius O.F.M.C. Franciscan Friary Crawley. J. Duncan M. Derrett was until his retirement Professor of Oriental Laws at the University of London. He has author works on legal history as well as Jesuss Audience Studies in the New Testament (6 vols.) The Sermon on the Mount The Anastasis and The Bible and the Buddhists.
