Genesis Rabbah in Text and Context

Martha Himmelfarb

0/5 ( ratings)

Genesis Rabbah, the earliest rabbinic commentary on Genesis, was composed in Roman Palestine around the 5th century CE. In this volume, an international team of scholars explores the literary formation and textual transmission of this work in late antiquity, and the historical, cultural, religious, and political contexts from which it emerged. The collection aims to advance scholarly conversations about the classical rabbinic corpus; midrash; religions of late antiquity; interactions between Jews, Christians, and others in the Greco-Roman world; and the reception of Genesis Rabbah in medieval and modern times. Contributors: Carol Bakhos, Sarit Kattan Gribetz, David M. Grossberg, Martha Himmelfarb, Marc Hirshman, Laura Lieber, Joshua Levinson, Martin Lockshin, Chaim Milikowsky, Maren Niehoff, Peter Schafer, Michael Sokoloff
