  • Intellectual Templates of the Law of Judaism
    Jacob Neusner
    Facing a vast corpus of facts, the heirs of the Mishnah adopted analytical templates that transcended details and transformed the Mishnah’s collection of topical expositions into a system of law.

    Jacob Neusner
    Is Scripture the origin of the Halakhic system, which defines the norms of Judaism?
