| Summary |
The Hebrew Bible formulates two sets of law: one for Israelites and one for gentiles living in the Holy Land. 'Law Beyond Israel' argues that the laws for non-Israelites form the historical basis of qur'anic law, pointing to legal continuity from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament and from late antique Christianity to nascent Islam. |
