Hardback. New. Does the Hebrew Bible ascribe an implicit form of legal personhood or legal rights to animals If so which animals—domesticated or wild or both—receive which rights and for what purpose Scholars have been slow to consider these questions and animal-oriented research as a whole in the field of biblical studies. For the first time author Saul M. Olyan addresses these questions in detail and explores how the evidence of the Hebrew Bible might contribute to contemporary debates about animal rights in the academy in the courts in the public square and in religious communities. In this book Olyan demonstrates that seven different biblical texts extend both legal personhood and rights to animals. The rights conferred upon them are mainly specific and situational and the legal personhood associated them is in most cases best characterized as limited. Nonetheless he argues that the animal rights described by these texts are genuine because they are not contingent on the needs or demands of others they do not disappear or give way because of conflict with the interests of another legal person and they may not be violated with impunity. Finally Olyan considers how the biblical texts examined in his analyses might be used to extend or strengthen the arguments of those advocating for animals in judicial academic political or religious settings. hardcover

Olyan seeks to reconstruct the Hebrew Bible’s particular ideas of what is disabling and their potential social ramifications. Biblical representations of disability and biblical classification schemas – both explicit and implicit – are compared to those of the Hebrew Bible’s larger ancient West Asian cultural context and to those of the later Jewish biblical interpreters who produced the Dead Sea Scrolls. This study will help the reader gain a deeper and more subtle understanding of the ways in which biblical writers constructed hierarchically significant difference and privileged certain groups e.g. persons with “whole†bodies over others e.g. persons with physical “defectsâ€. It also explores how ancient interpreters of the Hebrew Bible such as the Qumran sectarians reproduced and reconfigured earlier biblical notions of disability and earlier classification models for their own contexts and ends. Editorial Reviews Review ""Olyan's book constitutes an excellent overview of disability in the Hebrew Bible. Though the book represents careful and very sound scholarship it is also clearly written and accessible to the reader. The book remains interesting and thoughtful throughout."" <br>Biblical Interpretation Sarah J.
