Book Synopsis
This collection of essays and book reviews represents two years of work from 2003 to 2005 focused on the Rabbinic canon. The collection includes essays examining historical and history-of-religion questions precipitated by the documentary perspective; the treatment of 56 B.C.E., 70 C.E., and 132-135 C.E. in successive canonical compilations; the history of law; and several freestanding essays and book reviews.
