Rubenstein reconstructs the cultural milieu of the rabbinic academy that produced the Babylonian Talmud, or Bavli, which quickly became the authoritative text of rabbinic Judaism and remains so to this day. Unlike the rabbis who had earlier produced the shorter Palestinian Talmud (the Yerushalmi) and who had passed on their teachings to students individually or in small and informal groups, the anonymous redactors of the Bavli were part of a large institution with a distinctive, isolated, and largely undocumented culture. The Culture of the Babylonian Talmud explores the cultural world of these Babylonian rabbis and their students through the prism of the stories they included in the Bavli, showing how their presentation of earlier rabbinic teachings was influenced by their own values and practices. Among the topics explored in this broad-ranging work are the hierarchical structure of the rabbinic academy, the use of dialectics in teaching, the functions of violence and shame within the academy, the role of lineage in rabbinic leadership, the marital and family lives of the rabbis, and the relationship between the rabbis and the rest of the Jewish population. This book provides a unique and new perspective on the formative years of rabbinic Judaism and will be essential reading for all students of the Talmud. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 630 00 Talmud|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80020282 |xCriticism, Redaction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005386 630 00 Talmud|xLanguage, style.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85132133 630 7 Talmud.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1356431 650 0 Talmudic academies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85132141 650 0 Rabbis|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85110190 |zIraq|zBabylonia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82048268-781|xIntellectual life.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005642 650 0 Aggada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85002181 |xCriticism, interpretation, etc.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99004866 650 0 Logic|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85078106 |zIraq|zBabylonia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82048268-781 650 0 Narration in rabbinical literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh88007266 650 7 Language and languages|xStyle.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/992266 650 7 Talmudic academies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1142356 650 7 Rabbis.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1086311 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 975769 650 7 Aggada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/800216 650 7 Logic.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1002014 650 7 Narration in rabbinical literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1032938 651 7 Iraq.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205757 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRubenstein, Jeffrey L.|tCulture of the Babylonian Talmud.|dBaltimore, Md. : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003|w(DLC) 2002156775 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=124445|zOnline eBook.
