Yahweh and Moses in Conflict
The interpretation of Exodus 4:24-26 is very controversial. Scholars have treated this text from various viewpoints on the basis of divergent methods or approaches. Two fundamental problems cause uncertainty about the origin and meaning of this text. One problem has to do with the nature of Exod 4:24-26. Another problem is the identity of the persons mentioned in Exod 4:24-26. This book arranges forty-two documented interpretations under each approach or approaches, presenting the view of each scholar proposing his/her interpretation of Exodus 4:24-26 in chronological order. The author presents his own view in the concluding chapter, essentially adopting a redactional, canonical, narrative, rhetorical methodology.

The Literature of the Jewish People in the Period of the Second Temple and the Talmud, Volume 3 The Literature of the Sages
The literary creation of the ancient Jewish teachers or Sages--also called rabbinic literature--consists of the teachings of thousands of Sages, many of them anonymous. For a long period, their teachings existed orally, which implied a great deal of flexibility in arrangement and form. Only gradually, as parts of the amorphous oral tradition became fixed, was the literature written down, a process that began in the third century CE and continued into the Middle Ages. Thus the documents of the rabbinic literature are the result of a remarkably long and complex process of creation and editing. This volume gives a careful and succinct analysis both of the content and specific nature of the various documents, and of their textual and literary forms, paying special attention to the continuing discovery and publication of new textual material. The contributors are all engaged in academic teaching and research in Israel. Incorporating ground-breaking developments in research, their essays give a comprehensive presentation published here for the first time.

Why does the Torah begin with the letter beit, the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet? In seeking answers to this question, Michael J. Alter has gathered a wealth of material drawing from the Oral Law (Mishnah and Talmud), the Midrash, anonymous kabbalistic texts, and the works of many prominent rabbis, scribes, and writers spanning the past 2,000 years.
Einleitung in Talmud und Midrasch
Günter Stemberger führt seit 1982 das bedeutende Werk von H. L. Strack fort, der 1887 die erste umfassende Einleitung in den Talmud in einer europäischen Sprache veröffentlicht und sie 1920 durch eine Einleitung in den Midrasch erweitert hatte. Günter Stemberger legt nun in der neunten Auflage eine vollständig neu bearbeitete, auf dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung erarbeitete Fassung dieser Einleitung vor. Er skizziert den historischen Rahmen und das rabbinische Schulwesen, bespricht die rabbinische Hermeneutik, die Frage der mündlichen Tradition sowie Methodenfragen und stellt die wichtigsten Rabbinen kurz vor. Er bietet zudem einen Überblick über die talmudische Literatur und führt in die Midraschim ein. Diese Einführung ist ein Standardwerk, das ein unentbehrliches Arbeitsbuch für das Studium des rabbinischen Schrifttums darstellt.
