| Description: |
Talmudic culture is often viewed as bound by its traditions. This book maintains that a close reading of talmudic texts frequently reveals their authors as rabbis who, rather than conform uncritically to tradition, knowingly set out to expose and resolve problems inherent in the received traditions. |
