The Comparative Hermeneutics of Rabbinic Judiasm Volume 1 (The Comparative Hermeneutics of Rabbinic Judaism) Jacob Neusner

This series, entitled Studies in Contemporary Philosophical Theology (SCPT), focuses on original contributions of contemporary thinkers on philosophical theology in purely philosophical as well as in monotheistic and other religious traditions. The editors and external referees evaluate each manuscript for originality of scholarship and the philosophical and/or religious significance of its content. No censorship is exercised that might arrest either a departure from a philosophical or religious creed or silence the expression of support for established orthodoxy. The publications express solely the positions of the authors, and being diverse, cannot reflect the views of either the editors or home institutions. The editors are pleased and privileged to be instrumental in documenting some dimensions of the creative thought of the contemporary era. In addition, the editors wish to express their gratitude for support from the sponsoring institutions and to Ali. A. Mazrui (the Director of Institute of Global Cultural Studies at Binghamton University) and to the administrators at Brigham Young University.
