Controversy is the main instrument by which Judaism develops and
shapes its philosophy, theology and law. The rabbinical literature
speaks with many voices, debating virtually every subject, and
failing to reach a consensus on many. However, this willingness to
condone controversy is accompanied by much deliberation.
Controversy, and its legal, philosophical and social ramifications,
was and remains of unparalleled concern to the rabbis. Today, we
are also witness to a burgeoning academic interest in controversy
and pluralism in Jewish law.
This book is an anthology of passages from the rabbinical
literature that address the phenomenon of controversy in Jewish
law, affording the English-speaking reader the opportunity for a
first-hand encounter with this fascinating material. An extensive
analytical introduction contextualizes the material from a
philosophical perspective.
