Heresy and the Formation of the Rabbinic Community

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

Between the first and sixth centuries C.E., a group of sages that scholars refer to as the rabbinic community systematized their ideas about Judaism in works such as the Mishnah and the Talmud. David M. Grossberg offers a new approach to thinking about this community's formation.
