Over time and through masterly rhetorical strategy, rabbinic writings in post-temple Judaism come to occupy an authoritarian place within a pluralistic tradition. Slowly, the rabbis occupy the seat of Moses, and Lightstone introduces readers to this process, to the most significant texts, to the rhetorical styles and appeals to authority, and even to how authority came to be authority. As a seasoned and honest scholar, Lightstone achieves his goal of introducing novice readers to the often obscure world of rabbinic literary conventions with astounding success. This book is an excellent contribution to the Westar Studies series focused on religious literacy. -- back cover. 505 0 $a Intro -- Title Page -- Preface -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Historical Contexts -- Chapter 3: Early Rabbinic Legal Literature -- Chapter 4: Mishnah -- Chapter 5: Tosefta -- Chapter 6: Halakhic Midrash -- Chapter 7: The Two Talmuds -- Chapter 8: The Two Talmuds -- Chapter 9: Final Thoughts -- Bibliography 630 00 $a Mishnah. 630 00 $a Tosefta. 630 00 $a Talmud Yerushalmi. 630 00 $a Talmud. 630 07 $a Mishnah $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357191 630 07 $a Talmud $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356431 630 07 $a Talmud Yerushalmi $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01362056 630 07 $a Tosefta $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357479 650 0 $a Rabbinical literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Halakhic Midrashim. 650 0 $a Judaism $x History $y Talmudic period, 10-425. 650 4 $a Judaism--Rabbinic writings. 650 7 $a Halakhic Midrashim $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00950519 650 7 $a Judaism $x Talmudic period $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907050 650 7 $a Rabbinical literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086288 648 7 $a 10-425 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Westar Studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEBC1BE0CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
