Compare the ways in which Mesopotamian and Hebrew leaders related to the divine, and to law codes?

Question

Do you think the relationships between gods, leaders, and law is essentially the same in these two cultures, or essentially different? Use both lectures and readings to back up your assertion.

Answer 1

I do believe that they are essentially the same in both cultures. I believe this after reading a paper done by Dr. Edward Pushkin from the University of California, dated March 3, 1943. The paper was indeed old, but its conclusion was then and is now considered to be genuine.
