The Genesis of Justice: Ten Stories of Biblical Injustice That Led to the Ten Commandments and Modern Morality and Law Hardcover - 2000

by Alan M. Dershowitz

From the bestselling author of "Chutzpah" and Harvard law professor comes a fascinating exploration of how the Bible's Book of Genesis has shaped modern concepts of justice.


From the publisher

From the nation's most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer comes a "dazzling and stimulating" exploration of how the creation of the ten commandments provides the origins to today's law (Library Journal).
Alan Dershowitz is one of America's most famous litigation experts. In the Genesis of Justice he examines the Genesis narratives to bring to the reader an insight into the creation of the ten commandments and much of what is now law.
