This book contextualizes Rabbinic Judaism by emphasizing that the
framers of Rabbinic thought were in conversation with cultures
different from their own as much as with their own tradition. In a
series of seven essays, presented here for the first time, the
authors challenge the reader's assumptions about Judaism in the
Second Temple period, late antiquity, and the early medieval era.
Arranged in chronological order according to the period of time
they focus on, the essays analyze texts such as the Hebrew Bible,
Greco-Roman Egyptian texts, Greek and Latin works, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, early and late midrashic texts, the New Testament, the
Church fathers' writings, the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmuds,
and Zoroastrian texts.
