Resumen

Resumen En un acercamiento técnico a los textos jurídicos de la Biblia Hebrea se constata la presencia en ellos de elementos relevantes en la teoría del delito, como son la precisión en la definición de conductas, la toma en consideración del dolo, de la imprudencia, la existencia de circunstancias atenuantes o agravantes, o la responsabilidad por las acciones. El análisis de las distintas penas tipificadas en la Biblia Hebrea, y la justificación de ellas que se hace en los textos, ayuda a esclarecer el sentido que tiene la sanción penal. En toda la legislación bíblica se puede apreciar una prioridad de los valores humanos por encima de los bienes económicos y una conciencia de la responsabilidad individual, que llaman la atención en el contexto histórico en el que fueron compuestos esos textos. En suma, los fundamentos filosóficos y culturales subyacentes a los grandes códigos legales de la Torah irrumpieron como una notable novedad en su momento, y luego han dejado su huella en la configuración jurídica del mundo occidental.
