A Defense of Rabbinic Theology and Its Truth Claims
Abstract
Because the consensus view is that rabbinic theology is not theoretical, it is necessary to show that the rabbis prized knowledge of God. Using a range of literary, rhetorical, and epistemological approaches, the chapter firmly establishes the place of theology in rabbinic Judaism.
