Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Cloth hardcover, xiii + 410 pages, NOT ex-library. Interior is clean and bright throughout, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Age-spotting on the upper outer page edges. Clean, untorn dust jacket shows minor wear. -- This scholarly study examines how rabbinic literature from the first to the seventh centuries CE understood and regulated converts and the process of conversion. Gary G. Porton analyses key texts from the Mishnah, Tosefta, and both Talmuds to trace the development of the rabbinic category of the proselyte (ger tzedek). The book explores the complex legal, social, and theological status of the convert within the Jewish community, including questions of identity, ritual requirements, marriage, inheritance, and acceptance. Porton demonstrates that rabbinic attitudes toward converts were far from uniform, revealing a range of opinions that reflect ongoing debates about the boundaries of Jewish identity in the post-Temple era. By systematically comparing different rabbinic sources, the work provides a nuanced picture of how the rabbis balanced ethnic particularity with the possibility of religious inclusion. -- Gary G. Porton is a Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies and History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specialising in the history of Judaism in late antiquity and the development of rabbinic midrash.
