| Résumé: | Intro -- Title Page -- Preface -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Historical Contexts -- Chapter 3: Early Rabbinic Legal Literature -- Chapter 4: Mishnah -- Chapter 5: Tosefta -- Chapter 6: Halakhic Midrash -- Chapter 7: The Two Talmuds -- Chapter 8: The Two Talmuds -- Chapter 9: Final Thoughts -- Bibliography In the Seat of Moses offers readers a unique, frank, and penetrating analysis of the rise of rabbinic Judaism in the late Roman period. Over time and through masterly rhetorical strategy, rabbinic writings in post-temple Judaism come to occupy an authoritarian place within a pluralistic tradition. Slowly, the rabbis occupy the seat of Moses, and Lightstone introduces readers to this process, to the most significant texts, to the rhetorical styles and appeals to authority, and even to how authority came to be authority. As a seasoned and honest scholar, Lightstone achieves his goal of introducing novice readers to the often obscure world of rabbinic literary conventions with astounding success. This book is an excellent contribution to the Westar Studies series focused on religious literacy. -- back cover |
