The classical Rabbinic tradition (legal, discursive, and exegetical) claims to be Oral Torah, transmitted by word of mouth in an unbroken chain deriving its authority ultimately from diving revelation to Moses at Sinai. Since the third century C.E., however, this tradition has been embodied in written texts. Through judicious deployment and analysis of the evidence, Martin Jaffee is able to show that the Rabbinic tradition, as we have it, developed through a mutual interpretation of oral and written modes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is must reading for anyone interested in rabbinic literature, the history of ancient Judaism, and the role of orality in traditional societies and cultures."― Religious Studies Review

"The first word that comes to mind in reviewing Torah in the Mouth is elegant. It distills over twenty years of Martin S. Jaffee's innovative research into a single, readable whole, a modest 159 pages for the core text. All scholars or Rabbinic studies will want, and probably need, to read this book; so will many students of Second Temple Jerusalem The insights of this book will probably interest New Testament scholars too, as well as those concerned with literacy and orality in cultures of discipleship, especially in late antiquity."- The Journal of the American Academy of Religion

5.0 out of 5 stars Returning book, with no problems.

Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book, for someone that is looking for answers.
My personal problem was reading it, and pronouncing some of the words.
Some one might say, why did you purchase it?
My answer, is because I am a truth seeker into the Word
( scripture ) of our Heavenly Father. Had I know that the book would have words before hand, I couldn't pronounce, I wouldn't have purchased it.
But I didn't, and I did.
Returning the book, posed no problems .
Also I would like to add,
Please seek the Oral Law with tge Written you can not have one without the other.

Thank you
