Rabbinic Literature - Paperback

by Tal Ilan (Editor), Lorena Miralles-Maciá (Editor), Ronit Nikolsky (Editor)

This latest volume in the Bible and Women series is devoted to rabbinic literature from late Jewish antiquity to the early Middle Ages. Using the most up-to-date methodologies of rabbinic literature analysis, some essays analyze biblical law and gender relations as they are reflected in the rabbinic sages' argumentation, while others examine either the rabbinic portrayal of a certain woman or a group of women or the role of biblical women in a specific rabbinic context.
