This issue is of some controversy in the Jewish community, and there is heated debate about it.
Book Synopsis Rabbinic Authority by : Michael S. Berger
Download or read book Rabbinic Authority written by Michael S. Berger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Michael S. Berger analyzes the notion of Rabbinic authority from a philosophical standpoint. He sets out a typology of theories that can be used to understand the authority of these Sages, showing the coherence of each, its strengths and weaknesses, and what aspects of the Rabbinic enterprise it covers. His careful and thorough analysis reveals that owing to the multifaceted character of the Rabbinic enterprise, no single theory is adequate to fully ground Rabbinic authority as traditionally understood. Students of Judaism and philosophers of religion in general will be intrigued by this philosophical examination of a central issue of Judaism.

Book Synopsis Maimonides on the "Decline of the Generations" and the Nature of Rabbinic Authority by : Menachem Kellner
Download or read book Maimonides on the "Decline of the Generations" and the Nature of Rabbinic Authority written by Menachem Kellner and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moses Maimonides, medieval Judaism's leading legist and philosopher, and a figure of central importance for contemporary Jewish self-understanding, held a view of Judaism which maintained the authority of the Talmudic rabbis in matters of Jewish law while allowing for free and open inquiry in matters of science and philosophy. Maimonides affirmed, not the superiority of the "moderns" (the scholars of his and subsequent generations) over the "ancients" (the Tannaim and Amoraim, the Rabbis of the Mishnah and Talmud) but the inherent equality of the two. The equality presented here is not equality of halakhic authority, but equality of ability, of essential human characteristics. In order to substantiate these claims, Kellner explores the related idea that Maimonides does not adopt the notion of "the decline of the generations," according to which each succeeding generation, or each succeeding epoch, is in some significant and religiously relevant sense inferior to preceding generations or epochs.
Book Synopsis Contours of Coherence in Rabbinic Judaism by : Jacob Neusner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three part set of monographs on the coherence of Rabbinic Judaism in its literature: Part one: In the Rabbinic literature of late antiquity disputes and alternative interpretations of a common datum form a medium of expressing coherence. Part two, system over self, asks about the role of individual sayings and traditions. The Bavli imposes on received sayings and stories its forms and topical Halakhic program. Part three: Talmudic knowledge, asks, do the types ands forms of Mishnah-exegesis and Halakhah-analysis of the Bavli make possible a sequential history of the Talmudic knowledge, layer by layer, for example, generation by generation? With adequately classified data in hand, we may describe the generative logic of Talmudic analysis as that exegetical and analytical process unfolding in sequences is signified by the requirements of a pure, atemporal dialectics. The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9789004142312).

Book Synopsis Rabbi Akiba's Messiah by : Daniel Gruber
Download or read book Rabbi Akiba's Messiah written by Daniel Gruber and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not easy to overestimate the significance of the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Because of its long-term consequences, it may well be considered the greatest tragedy in Jewish history. It is the most defining. It set the stage for what became an endless procession of Jewish suffering down to, including, and beyond the Holocaust.The disaster was further compounded by the fact that Rabbi Akiba, the father of rabbinic Judaism, proclaimed Bar Kokhba, the leader of the rebellion, to be God's Anointed, the Messiah. In the eighteen hundred and fifty years since, as students of History and various religious persuasions have studied the sparse and sometimes conflicting evidence, one puzzling question always emerges.As Franz Rosenzweig expressed it, “Why did even the wisest teacher of his age fall for the false messiah, Bar Kochba, in the time of Hadrian?”This book answers that question.

Book Synopsis Revelation and Authority by : Benjamin D. Sommer
Download or read book Revelation and Authority written by Benjamin D. Sommer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once a study of biblical theology and modern Jewish thought, this volume describes a “participatory theory of revelation” as it addresses the ways biblical authors and contemporary theologians alike understand the process of revelation and hence the authority of the law. Benjamin Sommer maintains that the Pentateuch’s authors intend not only to convey God’s will but to express Israel’s interpretation of and response to that divine will. Thus Sommer’s close readings of biblical texts bolster liberal theologies of modern Judaism, especially those of Abraham Joshua Heschel and Franz Rosenzweig. This bold view of revelation puts a premium on human agency and attests to the grandeur of a God who accomplishes a providential task through the free will of the human subjects under divine authority. Yet, even though the Pentateuch’s authors hold diverse views of revelation, all of them regard the binding authority of the law as sacrosanct. Sommer’s book demonstrates why a law-observant religious Jew can be open to discoveries about the Bible that seem nontraditional or even antireligious.
