Summary
Having examined ecological and moral discourse about violence, we turn now toward judicial portrayals of the problem of violence. Given the breadth of legal literature in the Hebrew Bible, the wide range of non-legal texts that exhibit such themes, and the voluminous secondary literature on this topic, our study on violence will focus on the relationship between the outcry and the violence it signposts as a window into the justice grammar of violence. We will also look at the way that judicial conceptions of violence relate to the land.
