Publisher Description: Explains the writing of the oral component of the Torah, the Talmud of Babylonia, about 600 C.E., as the third and final stage in the formulation of Judaism: the restatement of religious traditions as theology. Also considers the companion Midrash collections, exemplified by the Song of Songs and Ruth Rabbah, committed to writing at the same time. |
