Talmud Reclaimed: An Ancient Text in the Modern Era

Talmud Reclaimed: An Ancient Text in the Modern Era
- Also examined in this section is the evolution of different styles of Talmudic analysis, while a lengthy chapter also investigates how the traditional Bet Hamidrash should respond to the methodologies and findings of academic Talmud study. Other essays are dedicated to the Talmud's extensive and enigmatic aggadic passages as well as a discussion of what might constitute heresy based on the Talmud's teachings.
- The third section of Talmud Reclaimed features a series of Appendices and Case Studies which delve into many of the historical principles that the main body of the book takes for granted: To what extent can we trace an oral tradition and Sanhedrin back to Sinai? In what way were Ravina and Rav Ashi deemed to be the conclusion of authoritative legal ruling; How and when was this principle formulated?
- The book has benefited from the advice and input of reviewers drawn from both the world of Torah learning and from the sphere of contemporary academe, each of which has provided invaluable assistance.
- Discussions in this unique work include: What makes the Babylonian Talmud legally binding? Which parts of the Talmud were taught directly at Sinai? How and when can Talmudic Law be amended? How should we approach Talmudic laws that appear outdated? Evolution and Revolution in approaches to Talmudic analysis. Fundamental methodological differences between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Talmudic traditions. How should a traditional student of the Talmud view academic Talmud scholarship?
