معرفی
David P. Wright serves as Professor of Bible and Ancient Near East at Brandeis University, specializing in comparative biblical and ancient Near Eastern legal systems and ritual practices.
He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
His research focuses on the intersection of biblical law (particularly Exodus) and Hammurabi's Code, analyzing how biblical authors adapted Mesopotamian legal traditions. Additional expertise includes ritual dynamics in ancient narratives—examining feasting, mourning, retaliation rites, and impurity disposal across Ugaritic, Hittite, and Mesopotamian literature.
Professor Wright is author of three seminal works: Inventing God's Law (2009), Ritual in Narrative (2001), and The Disposal of Impurity (1987), establishing foundational frameworks for cross-cultural legal comparison.
