The framework is one that takes full account of the historical and literary-historical issues that impinge upon the use of Mishnah for any scholarly purposes beyond philological study, including social scientific approaches to the materials. Based on the framework, each chapter undertakes, with appropriate methodological caveats, an avenue of inquiry open to the social scientist that brings to bear social scientific questions and modes of inquiry to Mishnaic evidence. 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aSocial history 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies 606 $aSociology of Religion 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a296.832 700 $aFishbane$b Simcha$0910503 702 $aGoldscheider$b Calvin 702 $aLightstone$b Jack N. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427726803321 996 $aExploring Mishnah's world(s)$92037825 997 $aUNINA
