The chapters in Emerging Horizons: 21st Century Approaches to the
Study of Midrash pertain to an intriguing midrash that appears in a
Masoretic context, the Qur'anic narrative of the red cow, midrashic
narratives that rabbinise enemies of Israel, the death of Moses,
emotions in rabbinic literature, and yelammedenu units in midrashic
works.
The Scholastic Culture of the Babylonian Talmud studies how and in
what cultural context the Talmud began to take shape in the
scholastic centers of rabbinic Babylonia. Bickart tracks the use of
the term tistayem ("let it be promulgated") and its analogs, in
contexts ranging from Amoraic disciple circles to Geonic texts, and
in comparison with literatures of Syriac-speaking Christians. The
study demonstrates increasing academization during the talmudic
period, and supports a gradual model of the Talmud's redaction.
