The Codes of Hammurabi and Moses


Lu par InTheDesert

(4.7 stars; 7 reviews)

The discovery of the Hammurabi Code is one of the greatest achievements of archaeology, and is of paramount interest, not only to the student of the Bible, but also to all those interested in ancient history. This document carries us back to gray antiquity; to what was once regarded as prehistoric times; to a period long antedating the promulgation of the laws of Moses; no matter whether we accept the traditional or the so-called critical view. - Summary adapted from the First Chapter (2 hr 24 min)

I learned a lot about the contemporaries and bad guys of the old testament. it's interesting how babylonian culture and laws provide a contrast to hebrew laws. it's a shame more of the code of hammurabi didn't survive for us to knoe about today.
