Theme: Law Beyond Israel
Book Discussion of Holger Zellentin’s Law Beyond Israel: From the Bible to the Qur’an.
The Hebrew Bible formulates two sets of law: one for the Israelites and one for the gentile “residents” living in the Holy Land. Holger Zellentin’s Law Beyond Israel: From the Bible to the Qur’an argues that these biblical laws for non-Israelites form the historical basis of qur’anic law. This volume corroborates its central claim by assessing laws for gentiles in late antique Jewish and especially in Christian legal discourse, pointing to previously underappreciated legal continuity from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament and from late antique Christianity to nascent Islam. This panel, featuring both specialists on the Bible and the Qur’an/early Islam, will review and discuss this recent work along with a response from Holger Zellentin.
