Götter - Ahnen - Könige als gerechte Richter: der "Rechtsfall" des Menschen vor Gott nach altorientalischen und biblischen Texten
In: Alter Orient und Altes Testament 290
O. Loretz examines the fields of justice and judgment in human and divine spheres within Ancient Near Eastern civilizations, mainly focused on Syria (Ugaritic texts) and Israel (Old Testament). Chapter 1 deals with divine, chapter 2 with the ancestors' judgment upon humans. Chapter 3 contrasts ideology and reality of the concept of the "King of Justice." Further chapters are devoted to philological and historical studies of the Amorite-Canaanite tradition of justice.
