The Authority of the Divine Law

A Study in Tannaitic Midrash

Beschreibung

This book explores the various rationales offered by Jewish groups in late antiquity for the authority of the Divine Law. While Second Temple groups tended to look towards philosophy or metaphysics to justify the Divine Law's authority, the tannaim formulated legal arguments. These arguments link to a set of issues regarding the tannaim’s conception of Divine Law and of Israel’s election.
