Rabbinic Authority
«Berger's pioneering work, fully documented and containing many fresh insights, will be helpful to readers who want a sophisticated understanding of who the Rabbis were and what they came to be, as the study of the Talmud engaged the mind of brilliant students throughout the ages.»
Louis Jacobs, Times Literary Supplement
Examines the nature and sources of the authority accorded in Judaism to the Sages of the first five centuries CE, whose statements serve as the basis for Halakhah (Jewish law). Berger critiques the notion of their authority, the assumptions undergirding it and the implications that follow.
