A clear, scholarly look at how early Jewish law took shape. This study explains how the Mishnah and Midrash developed from debates among priestly and lay teachers and how new forms of interpretation emerged to bind evolving practice to the Law.

Jacob Z. Lauterbach surveys the shift from traditional written law to living legal guidance. It traces the roles of priests, Sadducees, and Pharisaic teachers as they argued about authority, interpretation, and the creation of the Mishnah. The work explains why some practices were treated as traditional law and how new methods of interpretation helped justify them within the framework of the Law.

How different groups claimed authority over religious questions.

Two paths used to legitimize new customs: expanding Midrash and broadening the idea of the Law of the Fathers.

Why a traditional oral dimension began to be treated as binding alongside written scripture.

Ideal for readers interested in the origins of rabbinic tradition and the formation of Halakah in late antiquity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and development of Jewish law, known as Halakah, during the formative years following the Babylonian Exile. The author explores how Halakah was passed down through two distinct forms: Midrash and Mishnah. Midrash, meaning "search" or "inquiry," involves interpreting the Torah, the Jewish scriptures, to derive legal rulings. The author examines how this form, particularly through works like Sifra, Sifre, and Mekilta, became the primary method of teaching Halakah in the early period. In contrast, Mishnah, which means "repetition" or "study," presents Halakah as a collection of independent rulings without scriptural proof. The author traces the emergence of Mishnah, proposing that it developed as a necessary response to evolving societal needs and the increasing volume of legal rulings. The book meticulously investigates the transition from the exclusive use of Midrash to the adoption of Mishnah, challenging existing theories and offering a fresh perspective on this significant shift in Jewish legal history. The author's exploration sheds light on the intricate relationship between tradition and interpretation in shaping the foundation of Jewish law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
