Carnal Israel: Reading Sex in Talmudic Culture (The New Historicism: Studies in Cultural Poetics)

by Daniel Boyarin (Author)

Synopsis

Beginning with a startling endorsement of the patristic view of Judaism - that it was a 'carnal' religion, in contrast to the spiritual vision of the Church, the author argues that rabbinic Judaism was based on a set of assumptions about the human body that were profoundly different from those of Christianity.
