Publisher Description: In this book Jacob Neusner conducts a close textual analysis of Sifra, a commentary on the book of Leviticus. He argues that Sifra should be understood as successfully relating the Mishnah, the authoritative writing down of the Oral Torah, to Jewish Scripture, or the written Torah. |
