Law and Order: From Hammurabi to Bahá’u’lláh

In this detailed presentation, Eileen Maddox, a returning speaker and prolific author, explores the evolution of law and order from the era of Hammurabi to Baha’u’llah, against the backdrop of increasing secularism and widespread misconceptions about ancient legal codes, particularly the ‘eye for an eye’ principle. She delves into the Code of Hammurabi, the Mosaic Law, and their significance within their historical contexts, shedding light on the profound connections between divine guidance and human legislation. Maddox discusses the impact of these ancient texts on contemporary moral and legal thought, aiming to deepen appreciation for their enduring wisdom and relevance.
