How should we understand the stories of the Babylonian Talmud?
Where do they come from? Why are they in the Talmud? How do they
relate to Talmudic law? In "Talmudic Stories," Jeffrey Rubenstein
deepens our appreciation for the complexity of these texts by
drawing attention to the literary aspects and cultural contexts
that are essential to understanding their narrative art, meanings,
and importance. Focusing on six famous stories of the Babylonian
Talmud and discussing many others in relation to these,
Rubenstein's analysis illuminates the ways in which the rabbis used
narratives to grapple with fundamental tensions of their culture.
The book also features an appendix including the original
Hebrew/Aramaic texts for the reader's reference.
