Implicit Norms of Rabbinic Judaism

The Bedrock of a Classical Religion

Beschreibung

This book explores the theological premises of the documents upon which the Rabbinic canon was built and asks whether these premises cohere in a tight theological system? The Implicit Norms of Rabbinic Judaism examines these documents and their premise and reveals that orthodoxy and heresy constituted native categories of the Rabbinic system of thought inherent.
