Summary/Abstract: The Bible reveals that God is our Creator and that law springs from His will and reflects His holy character. The Bible includes the laws of Israel given at Sinai (Exodus 20), the laws of Medes and Persians (Daniel 6:8) and the law of Rome. This paper questions the biblical inspiration of civil law that is the law that orders human societies and is implemented and enforced through human government. The Bible, one way or another, addresses almost all areas of civil law, including evidence, civil and criminal procedure, court administration and welfare regulation. The question that our paper ends with is whether going back to divine law could prove beneficial for mankind, especially în the wake of global crises.
