Stemberger's revision of H. L. Strack's classic introduction to
rabbinic literature, which appeared in its first English edition in
1991, was widely acclaimed. Gunter Stemberger and Markus Bockmuehl have
now produced this updated edition, which is a significant revision
(completed in 1996) of the 1991 volume. Following Strack's original
outline, Stemberger discusses first the historical framework, the basic
principles of rabbinic literature and hermeneutics and the most
important Rabbis. The main part of the book is devoted to the Talmudic
and Midrashic literature in the light of contemporary rabbinic research.
The appendix includes a new section on electronic resources for the
study of the Talmud and Midrash. The result is a comprehensive work of
reference that no student of rabbinics can afford to be without.
