Sparks of the Logos: Essays in Rabbinic Hermeneutics (Brill Reference Library of Judaism) Daniel Boyarin

Two major themes run through this fine collection of essays: the typological relation of rabbinic Judaism to Christianity, and the re-animation of a rabbinic Judaism that would not manifest some of the deleterious social ideologies and practices that modern orthodox Judaism generally does, a project that was thought of as "radical orthodoxy." The material treated in the book should be of interest to historians of Judaism and Christianity, Talmudists, and scholars and readers interested in the cultural study of religion.
