An eye for an eye doctrine


This is "arguably the most misunderstood Jewish commandment", but the author gives a very good explanation of its intent and application -along with all of its ramifications.
The author of the blog on which the article is found is obviously not an Anglo from the manner of expression in a couple of places, but certainly these can be forgiven given the superb job that he has done.

For those who want to understand the driving ethical-philosophical force behind Judaism, or for those who just want to understand this law better, click HERE. It's somewhat long, but can be read in a couple of cessions for better digestion if you're one of those that just hates long articles.
