- Title
SOME FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF HEBREW CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE.
- Authors
Spector, Theodore
- Abstract
The article discusses the basis of Jewish jurisprudence. The basis of the Hebrew criminal jurisprudence is the Bible and especially the Five Books of Moses. The Pentateuch, the Jus Scriptum, is the only foundation of Jewish Law. There is no army of police to compel obedience to a Jewish Law or judge's decision and no person to incarcerate the insolent for contempt of court.. But Jewish law, civil as well as ecclesiastical enjoys the homage of the bulk of the Jewish race. The following were the methods of imposing the death penalty: stoning to death, death by burning, decapitation and strangulation.
