The Literature of the Sages
by Shemuel Safrai
Shemuel Safrai's description of the literature of the sages primarily focuses on rabbinic literature produced by Jewish scholars during the late Second Temple period and beyond. This body of work encompasses a wide range of texts, including legal discussions, ethical teachings, homiletical interpretations, and narratives. Safrai emphasizes the multifaceted nature of this literature, illustrating how it served not only as a repository of legal rulings (halakha) but also as a source of moral guidance and theological reflection for Jewish communities throughout history. His scholarship highlights the intricate interplay between tradition and innovation within the teachings of the sages, revealing their enduring impact on Jewish thought and practice.
