Description:

This book challenges the reader's assumptions about Judaism in the Second Temple period, antiquity, and the medieval era.

Synopsis:

Discussing Cultural Influences contextualizes Rabbinic Judaism by emphasizing that the framers of Rabbinic thought were in conversation with cultures different from their own as much as with their own tradition. In a series of seven essays, presented here for the first time, the authors challenge the reader's assumptions about Judaism in the Second Temple period, late antiquity, and the early medieval era.
