Synopsis

Among the many in the last century who explored the relationship between the New Testament and rabbinic Judaism, David Daube must certainly be designated as among the pioneers. And in the literature of that exploration, along with works such as Paul and Rabbinic Judaism by W. D. Davies and Joachim Jeremias' Jerusalem in the Time of Jesus, Daube's The New Testament and Rabbinic Judaism must be awarded "classic" status. Whether one is examining the social and religious history behind the New Testament text or analyzing the text itself, The New Testament and Rabbinic Judaism will illumine the interpreter. Daube's work stands on the shoulders of no one, and has itself become a cornerstone for future study in this field. This volume is a must for every library.

About the Author

David Daube (1909" 1999) was regius professor of civil law at Oxford and a fellow of All Souls' College. In 1970, he became professor in residence at Berkeley School of Law in the University of California as well as director of the Robbins Hebraic and Roman law collections from 1970 until 1981. From 1966 to 1978 he was also a visiting professor of history at the University of Constance. Daube's publications include "Studies In Biblical Law, Collaboration With Tyranny And Rabbinic Law," and "Civil Disobedience In Antiquity."

"Of all his contributions to scholarship, Daube's most insightful contributions may well be in the field of New Testament scholarship. He maintained an extraordinary openness to the non-Jewish world to an extent that is very rare among Rabbinic scholars and liberated both Jews and gentiles from prejudice and misconceptions."
" David Patterson, The Guardian
