Abstract

Stuart Miller examines the hermeneutical challenges posed by the material and literary evidence pertaining to ritual purity practices in Graeco-Roman Palestine and, especially, the Galilee. He contends that "stepped pools," which we now know were in use well beyond the Destruction of the Temple, and, as indicated by the large collection on the western acropolis of Sepphoris and elsewhere, into the Middle and Late Roman/Byzantine eras,must be understood in light of biblical and popular perspectives on ritual purity. The interpretation of the finds is too frequently forced to conform to rabbinic prescriptions, which oftentimes were the result of the sages' unique and creative, nominalist approach to ritual purity. Special attention is given to the role ritual purity continued to play in the lives of ordinary Jews despite (or because of) the loss of the Temple.

Abstract

Key Features: Coverage of traditional concepts in statistics includes expected value operators, likelihood functions, maximum likelihood estimation, and least squares estimation, preparing students for concepts they will continue to encounter in more advanced material. Real research on specific antisocial behaviors provides consistent context for answering research questions in an interesting and intuitive way. Discussion of statistical inference in an easy-to-understand manner ensures that students have the foundation they need to avoid misusing hypothesis tests. A detailed presentation of resampling methods and randomization tests for experiments and correlation provides a better way to analyze data when the assumptions of the classical tests are not met. A number of current techniques for data analysis not included in other textbooks are introduced, including quantile plots, quantile-quantile plots, normal quantile plots, analysis of residuals in scatter plots, bootstrap methods, robust estimators, robust regression, and the use of randomization (permutation) tests for experiments and correlation.

Abstract

This Festschrift in honor of Professor Lawrence H. Schiffman, a renowned authority on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Rabbinic Judaism, includes contributions by twenty of his former doctoral students, now colleagues. The volume is divided into two sections, the "Biblical and Second Temple Period" and "Rabbis, Other Jews, and Neighboring Cultures." The diverse topics covered and the wide range of interdisciplinary approaches employed reflect Professor Schiffman's success in cultivating a school of scholars who are making unique contributions to the study of the Jews and Judaism.

Abstract

"Talmuda de-Eretz Israel: Archaeology and the Rabbis in Late Antique Palestine brings together an international community of historians, literature scholars and archaeologists to explore how the integrated study of rabbinic texts and archaeology increases our understanding of both types of evidence, and of the complex culture which they together reflect. This volume reflects a growing consensus that rabbinic culture was an "embodied" culture, presenting a series of case studies that demonstrate the value of archaeology for the contextualization of rabbinic literature. It steers away from later twentieth-century trends, particularly in North America, that stressed disjunction between archaeology and rabbinic literature, and seeks a more holistic approach"--
