Sommario/riassunto |
|
Examines the nature and sources of the authority accorded in Judaism to the Sages of the first five centuries CE, whose statements serve as the basis for Halakhah (Jewish law). Berger critiques the notion of their authority, the assumptions undergirding it and the implications that follow. |
