  Contextualizes Rabbinic Judaism by emphasizing that the framers of Rabbinic thought were in conversation with cultures different from their own as much as with their own tradition. This book challenges the reader's assumptions about Judaism in the Second Temple period, antiquity, and the medieval era.
