But there are others, and the Judaism of the dual Torah, set forth in the Rabbinic literature from the Mishnah through the Talmud of Babylonia, ca. 200-600 C.E., defines one such alternative. This book tells the story of how a historical way of thinking about past, present, and future, time and eternity, the here and now in relationship to the ages, « that is, Scripture's way of thinking » gave way to another mode of thought altogether. This other model Neusner calls a paradigm, because a pattern imposed meaning and order on things that happened. Paradigmatic modes of thought took the place of historical ones. Thinking through paradigms, with a conception of time that elides past and present and removes all barriers between them, in fact governs the reception of Scripture in Judaism until nearly our own time. Neusner here explains through the single case of Rabbinic Judaism, precisely how that other way of reading Scripture did its work, and why, for so many centuries, that reading of the heritage of ancient Israel governed. At stake are [1] a conception of time different from the historical one and [2] premises on how to take the measure of time that form a legitimate alternative to those that define the foundations of the historical way of measuring time. Fully exposed, those alternative premises may prove as logical and compelling as the historical ones. The approach follows the documentary history of ideas, and individual chapters describe the treatment of historical topics in the Mishnah, the Talmud of the Land of Israel (a.k.a., the Yerushalmi), Genesis Rabbah, that is, ca. 200, 400, and 450 CE, and Pesiqta deRab Kahana, ca. 500 CE. 410 0$aThe Brill Reference Library of Judaism ;$v12. 606 $aHistoriography in rabbinical literature 606 $aHistory$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$xPhilosophy 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography in rabbinical literature. 615 0$aHistory$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a296.1/208901 700 $aNeusner$b Jacob$0147791 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450114603321 996 $aThe idea of history in rabbinic Judaism$91953514 997 $aUNINA
