Through the ages, theology in Judaism has played roles of varying
importance. But the role of theology is minor compared with that of law
and observance. This book is devoted to a study of the evolution of
normative Judaism from the time of Ezra (ca. 400 B.C.) to Judah I, the
Prince (ca. 200 A.D.). Its focus on law represents a realistic approach
to the history of applied Judaism. Rabbinic Judaism in the Making is
the first study in English to trace the evolution of Rabbinic Law and
Rabbinic Judaism. A concise history of post-biblical normative Judaism
in antiquity, Mr. Guttmann's book concentrates on the crucial
inter-testamental period, and should be valuable to students of ancient
history, and both Christian and Jewish theologians, ministers, and
rabbis.
