Some Reconsiderations
Jacob Neusner is Research Professor of Theology and Senior Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Theology at Bard College. He is also a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, and Life Member of Clare Hall at Cambridge University, England. He has published numerous books with University Press of America on Jewish studies, particularly Rabbinic Judaism.
He [Neusner] has gathered an impressive sourcebook that, along with
his pointed and even poignant commentary, at times reads like a new
addition to the rabbinic canon... his study gives us greater
insight into the profound depths of their biblical worldview.
Further, he helps us to see how, in their interpretations and
applications of Scripture, the Word of God continued to live,
instruct, and make claims upon the people of God.
