Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This volume guides beginning students of Rabbinic literature to the range of historical-interpretive and culture-critical issues that contemporary scholars use when studying the rabbinic texts of late antiquity. The editors, themselves well-known interpreters of Rabbinic literature, have gathered an international collection of scholars to support students' initial steps in confronting the enormous and complex rabbinic corpus. Unlike other introductions to Rabbinic writings, the present volume includes approaches shaped by anthropology, gender studies, oral-traditional studies, classics, and folklore studies.

Synopsis:

An international team of scholars help the reader confront the enormous and complex rabbinic corpus.

"The Cambridge Companion to the Talmud and Rabbinic Literature" is an excellent introduction for the non-yeshiva trained student and the general reader. Fifteen international scholars, under the editorship of Charlotte E. Fonrobert [Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Standord Univ.] and Martin S. Jaffee [Professor of Jewish Studies, Univ. of Washington] contributed original articles to this fine guide.
