Israel & Babylon provides a comprehensive comparative study of the historical and theological relationship between two of antiquity's most influential civilizations. Written by W. Lansdell Wardle, this work examines the extent of Babylonian influence on the traditions, laws, and religious practices of the people of Israel.

Through a careful analysis of archaeological findings and ancient texts, Wardle explores pivotal themes such as the creation narratives, the Great Flood, and the development of legal codes. The book delves into the striking similarities between the Code of Hammurabi and the Mosaic Law, while also highlighting the unique characteristics that defined Israel's spiritual identity. Wardle navigates the complexities of cultural diffusion, addressing how the Hebrew prophets and writers interacted with the surrounding Mesopotamian milieu.
