The Memory of the Temple and the Making of the Rabbis - Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion
Naftali S. Cohn
Naftali S. Cohn provides an innovative understanding of the rabbinic authors of the Mishnah and their intense focus on the Temple. He contends that the memory of the Temple served a political function for the rabbis, arguing for their own importance within the complex social landscape of Jewish society in Roman Palestine.
