## About this book

The Torah Unabridged, Volume 1, is a scholarly examination of legal reasoning within the Hebrew Bible. Author William A. Tooman analyzes how biblical laws regarding intermarriage were interpreted and applied to people and situations beyond their original explicit content. This work of biblical criticism and interpretation focuses on the exegetical operations used to expand these laws across different time periods and locations.

Using a diachronic approach and detailed philological analysis of the Hebrew texts, this study of religion and ancient history tracks the shift toward stricter marriage restrictions between Israelites and gentiles. This monograph in the field of biblical studies and exegesis and hermeneutics explores the logical operations and hermeneutical assumptions found from Exodus to Ezra-Nehemiah. It serves as a rigorous resource for specialists in Judaism, Christianity, and the history of law.
