Contextualizing the Talmud "against its will". 520 $a "In this volume, Moshe Lavee offers an account of crucial internal developments in the rabbinic corpus, and shows how the Babylonian Talmud dramatically challenged and extended the rabbinic model of conversion to Judaism. The history of conversion to Judaism has long fascinated Jews along a broad ideological continuum. This book demonstrates that the rabbis in Babylonia further reworked former traditions about conversion in an ever more stringent direction, shifting the focus of identity demarcation towards genealogy and bodily perspectives. By applying a reading-strategy that emphasizes late Babylonian literary developments, Lavee sheds critical light on a broader discourse regarding the nature and boundaries of Jewish identity."--Page 4 of cover. 630 00 $a Talmud $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 630 07 $a Talmud. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356431 630 04 $a Talmud Bavli $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Conversion $x Judaism. 650 0 $a Jewish converts. 650 7 $a Conversion $x Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00877236 650 7 $a Jewish converts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982727 650 7 $a Judentum $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4114087-4 650 7 $a Konversion $g Religion $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4127377-1 650 7 $a Konvertierung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4239595-1 650 7 $a Rabbinismus $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4139772-1 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lavie-Levkovitch, Moshe. $t Rabbinic conversion of Judaism. $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2018] $z 9789004352056 $w (DLC) 2017031795 830 0 $a Ancient Judaism and early Christianity ; $v v. 99. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020015942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A940C64E580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
