Some soiling to page edges. This is one of the Anchor Bible Reference Library series. Jacob Neusner July 28 1932 - October 8 2016 was an American academic scholar of Judaism. He was named as one of the most published authors in history having written or edited more than 900 books. Neusner's research centered on rabbinic Judaism of the Mishnaic and Talmudic eras. His work focused on bringing the study of rabbinical text into nonreligious educational institutions and treating them as non-religious documents. He was a pioneer in the application of "form criticism" approach to Rabbinic texts. Much of Neusner's work focused on deconstructing the prevailing approach that viewed Rabbinic Judaism as a single religious movement within which the various Rabbinic texts were produced. In contrast Neusner viewed each rabbinic document as an individual piece of evidence that can only shed light on the more local Judaisms of such specific document's place of origin and the specific Judaism of the author. His 1981 book Judaism: The Evidence of the Mishnah is the classic statement of his work and the first of many comparable volumes on the other documents of the rabbinic canon. Neusner's five-volume History of the Jews in Babylonia published between 1965-1969 is said to be the first to consider the Babylonian Talmud in its Iranian context. Neusner studied Persian and Middle Persian to do so. Neusner with his contemporaries translated into English nearly the entire Rabbinic canon. The rabbis are as important today as they were two thousand years ago at the dawn of the literature that came to be named after them. The Mishnah the Tosefta the Talmuds the collections of Midrash and other writings ascribed to the ancient rabbis -- the oral Torah -- were gradually produced between the first and the seventh century of the Common Era. What began as comments and decisions on practical matters made by the rabbis were eventually written down and preserved. Over time the literature grew and constantly changed eventually evolving into a widely diverse collection of material. Regardless of what form it took rabbinic literature guided and shaped Jewish life. Opening the vast pages of rabbinic literature is like entering a conversation already in progress. To understand and appreciate what is going on some basic things about the content purpose and context of the speakers need to be known. `In "Introduction to Rabbinic Literature" legendary author and teacher Jacob Neusner distills a lifetime of scholarship on the essence of what has been received from the rabbis. This book gives readers everything they need to know to understand rabbinic literature. It explores the formative age and the forces that gave rise to rabbinic literature and tells in a simple straightforward way what these documents are where to find them how to read them and why their content matters. Best of all Neusner masterfully covers all this in one relatively compact volume that novice and expert both can appreciate. Doubleday hardcover
197338258Leiden: E. J. Brill 1973. First edition. Hardcover. g to vg. Quarto. XII 2 110pp. Original red cloth with gold lettering on spine and front cover. Publisher's logo on front board and title page. Devotion to the study of the Babylonian Talmud a document of law and theology completed in the seventh century A.D. and thereafter the primary and authoritative source of Judaic legal and moral teachings was one of the distinctive traits of Russian Jewry before 1917. The five papers contained in this volume show part of what was accomplished after that time by a Talmudist who was also trained in Soviet historical sciences and Marxist theory. The papers are important for three reasons. First they contain important insights and critical perspectives hitherto unavailbale to Western scholarship in the history of Judaism in late antiquity. Second they underline the importance of introducing into the study of Talmudic and other ancient legal literature a concern for the economic foundations of the laws. Third they provide a glimpse into the mind of a segment of the Soviet Jewish community during its long period of silence specifically the segment which evidently attempted to reach an accomodation between the classical Judaic heritage on the one hand and the new modes of thought and expression under Soviet Communism on the other. Solodukho made the effort both to preserve the traditions of Talmudic learning acquired in his youth and to master and make use of the Marxist hermeneutic which came to dominance in his mature years. The five papers contained in this volume are the following: 1 Slavery in the Hebrew society of Iraq and Syria in the second through fifth centuries A.D.; 2 On the question of the social structure of Iraq in the third to the fifth centuries A.D.; 3 The Mazdak movement and rebellion of the Hebrew population of Iraq in the first half of the sixth century A.D.; 4 The Persian administrative-legal socio-economic and everyday lexicon in the Jewish-Iraqi literary monuments of the Sasanian period; 5 Concerning certain Persian borrowings in the Babylonian Gemara.
