Is Scripture the Origin of the Halakhah?
Author: Jacob Neusner
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780761831174
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The Halakhah constitutes a coherent construction comprised by category-formations defined by topics purposively amplified. These category-formations everywhere pursue a cogent analytical program, addressing diverse subjects, treated systematically, a single set of questions of definition and analysis. Is Scripture the origin of the Halakhic system, which defines the norms of Judaism? At stake is not the starting point of discrete bits of legal data. At issue is the origin of the comprehensive structure comprised by the Halakhic category-formations, by these topics and no others. Scripture forms the natural starting point for any inquiry into the origins of Judaism. So it is quite natural to treat Scripture as the base-line and the Halakhic category-formations as the variable when seeking the origin of the system. But what happens when, as in this project, we treat the system as the base-line and Scripture as the variable? Then we see that the Halakhic system viewed as a coherent statement does not originate in Scripture. Important parts of that statement do, important parts do not. But the system viewed whole does not.

The Vitality of Rabbinic Imagination
Author: Jacob Neusner
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780761831181
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Assessed against comparable documents of Scripture and the Qumran library, the Mishnah shows itself as a triumph of imagination. It exhibits remarkable capacity to think in new and astonishing ways about familiar things. This study compares the Mishnah to four biblical codes and two codes found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The comparison provides perspective upon the uniqueness of the Mishnah in its Israelite context of Scripture and tradition. Linked to Scripture and in dialogue with Scripture, the Mishnah struck out in new paths altogether from those set forth by Scripture's codes and those that imitated them. The capacity to think in fresh ways about the Scripture's own imperatives and their implications attests to the validity of Rabbinic imagination that reaches concrete expression in the Mishnah, a triumph of reconstruction and creative recapitulation.

The Torah and the Halakhah
Author: Jacob Neusner
Publisher: Studies in Judaism
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Neusner (Bard College), the compiler of The Halakhah: An Encyclopedia of the Law of Judaism (1999), compares and contrasts selections of Scripture to study relationships between the normative rules in the written religious laws of the Pentateuch (the first five books of Scripture) and those set forth in the oral Torah of Mishnah-Yershalmi-Bavli. The four relationships to propositional category-formations analyzed are: dependent, with Halakhah amplifying the Scripture's laws; autonomous; interstitial, though derivative; and interstitial but original. There is no index. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
