Synopsis

In "Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy, at Morristown, N. J., May 1887: Defence," Robert Green Ingersoll delves into the complexities of legal and moral philosophy surrounding the blasphemy trial of C. B. Reynolds. With a rich, rhetorical style that reflects Ingersoll's background as an orator and attorney, the book offers a robust defense of Reynolds, challenging the societal and legal norms of 19th-century America. Through vivid prose and incisive argumentation, Ingersoll critiques the intersection of religion and law, advocating for the importance of free thought and individual rights in a period marked by rampant dogmatism and intolerance. Ingersoll, a prominent agnostic and one of the most influential speakers of the 19th century, drew on his profound disdain for religious dogma and fervent belief in humanism, civil liberties, and rationalism in crafting this defense. His experiences in a society contentious over religion and morality informed his perspective, presenting an urgent commentary on the state of free expression and the legal repercussions facing dissenters in his time. This work is essential for readers interested in the historical intersection of law, religion, and individual rights. Ingersoll provides insights that remain relevant today, making this text not only a legal defense but also a powerful manifesto advocating for the liberation of thought from the shackles of oppressive moral codes.

    We tend to be perplexed by the psalmists who express delight in God's laws. We see biblical law as a long list of rules with harsh punishments, and the more we read the biblical law within modern legal frameworks, the stranger it appears. We are too estranged from its world, aims, and concerns to see its beauty and wisdom. 
     
    In Understanding Biblical Law, Dru Johnson 
    reorients the reader to see biblical law through ancient Israelite eyes. He deconstructs common myths regarding biblical law and shows how it often differs significantly from both modern law and ancient Near Eastern law. Johnson weaves in an ancient murder mystery between chapters to show how ancient Israelites could have reasoned with and through Torah to solve real-life problems. He then demonstrates how we can do the same by discerning biblical law's literary and historical contexts, appreciating its sophisticated wisdom, and distinguishing it from our modern legal notions. 
     
    This book is engaging and accessible for undergrads and laypeople but robust enough for seminarians. Johnson demonstrates a skill-based approach for interpreting Old Testament law and uses examples to encourage readers to practice these skills for themselves. 
     
    When we enter the biblical world, we see with the psalmists the beauty and sophistication of Israel's laws and discover a rich resource for thinking about the law's theological implications for Hellenistic Judaism, the New Testament, and readers today.
