Translated by Allan W. Mahnke
A pioneering history of Old Testament law from its scarcely discernable origins in the pre-monarchical period to the canonisation of the Pentateuch.

Praise for THE TORAH
'Crusemann and Houtman has enormously enriched the field; it will attract the serious attention of scholars for many years to come.'
