    Book description

    This volume introduces students of rabbinic literature to the range of historical and interpretative questions surrounding 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.

    Reviews

    "The book is possibly the finest survey in English of Critical cultural issues for non-yeshiva beginning students of rabbinic literature."
    Aaron Howard, Jewish Herald-Voice
