Description: "Forms of Rabbinic Literature and Thought provides a comprehensive, non-technical, and theoretically informed introduction to the nature of rabbinic thought and the literary evidence we have for it. There are user-friendly tables, a glossary, and translated Sample Texts representing the Mishnah, exegetical Midrash, the talmudic sugya, and the rabbinic homily.
