Book Summary
Scholars of biblical law are already agreed that ancient Israel did not draft law-texts for legislative purposes. The consensus (that Ezra introduced legislative uses of Torah) is based on assumptions, which have been never tested. This study critiques and challenges the consensus, and presents an alternative hypothesis.
