Traditionally, the Talmud was read as law, that is, as the
authoritative source for Jewish practice and obligations. To this
end, it was studied at the level of its most minute details, with
readers often ignoring the composite whole. Methods of reading have
shifted as more readers have turned to the Talmud for evidence of
rabbinic history, religion, rhetoric, or anthropology; still, few
have employed a genuinely literary approach. In Reading the Rabbis,
Kraemer attempts to fill this gap by developing a method for
reading the Talmud as literature. He draws on the tools developed
in the study of other literatures, particularly rhetorical and
reader-response criticisms, to unearth previously unnoticed levels
of meaning. The result is that readers will gain a new
understanding of the complexity of Rabbinic Judaism, and a new
model of rabbinic piety.
