{"product_id":"time-in-the-babylonian-talmud-lynn-kaye-9781108423236","title":"Time in the Babylonian Talmud","description":"In this book, Lynn Kaye examines how rabbis of late antiquity thought about time through their legal reasoning and storytelling, and what these insights mean for thinking about time today. Providing close readings of legal and narrative texts in the Babylonian Talmud, she compares temporal ideas with related concepts in ancient and modern philosophical texts and in religious traditions from late antique Mesopotamia. Kaye demonstrates that temporal flexibility in the Babylonian Talmud is a means of exploring and resolving legal uncertainties, as well as a tool to tell stories that convey ideas effectively and dramatically. Her book, the first on time in the Talmud, makes accessible complex legal texts and philosophical ideas. It also connects the literature of late antique Judaism with broader theological and philosophical debates about time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Kaye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110842323X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108423236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.84w x 0.74d","brand":"Lynn Kaye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996204957951,"sku":"9781108423236","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4cfc1680-2207-4ec4-b312-a0ae63c0703a.jpg?v=1683340343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-in-the-babylonian-talmud-lynn-kaye-9781108423236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
