Christine Hayes examines the divergent conceptualizations of divine law in antiquity, contrasting the Greek philosophical tradition with the emerging Jewish legal framework. By analyzing early rabbinic and Hellenistic texts, the author illuminates how competing definitions of divinity and authority shaped the development of religious jurisprudence and the interpretation of sacred mandates.
