Jewish law has a history stretching from the early period to the modern State of Israel, encompassing the Talmud, Geonic and later codifications, the Spanish Golden Age, medieval and modern response, the Holocaust and modern reforms. Fifteen distinct periods are separately studied in this volume, each one by a leading specialist, and the emphasis throughout is on the development of the institutions and sources of the law, providing teachers with the essential background material from which a variety of sources, from many different perspectives, may be taught. Most chapters are written to a common plan, with treatment of the political background of the period and the nature of Jewish judicial autonomy, the character (literary and legal) of the sources, the legal practice of the period, its principal authorities, and examples of characteristic features of the substantive law (especially in family law).

Contemporary arguments about Jewish law uniquely reflect both the story of Jewish modernity and a crucial premise of modern conceptions of law generally: the claim of autonomy for the intellectual subject and practical sphere of the law. Jewish Legal Theories collects representative modern Jewish writings on law and provides short commentaries and annotations on these writings that situate them within Jewish thought and history, as well as within modern legal theory. The topics addressed by these documents include Jewish legal theory from the modern nation-state to its adumbration in the forms of Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism in the German-Jewish context; the development of Jewish legal philosophy in Eastern Europe beginning in the eighteenth century; Ultra-Orthodox views of Jewish law premised on the rejection of the modern nation-state; the role of Jewish law in Israel; and contemporary feminist legal theory.

This book is an English translation of Albeck's important work, מבוא למשפט העברי בימי התלמוד, which first appeared in Hebrew in 1999, published by Bar-Ilan University Press. This volume presents an explanation and analysis of the principles of the Talmudic legal system, garnered from Talmudic discussions and debates regarding inter-personal laws. The author clarifies, in simple language and with numerous examples, the inner logic underlying Talmudic discussions of the laws governing human social behavior. The book examines the outlook of Talmudic scholars regarding the purpose of Halakhah and law; the nature of the law Courts; custom and usage; the relationship of Jewish law to Gentile legal systems; the relationship between law and ethics; and the relationship between public law and private law. Likewise, the book describes how the Oral Law was transmitted, the creation and consolidation of Oral Literature, its editing and purpose. Most of the book is devoted to clarifying the main concepts of property law and obligations; agency and inheritance; the law of torts; criminal law; and the law of evidence, as revealed during the period that Jewish law was redacted by the Sages for all future generations. This volume will be of interest to all those who pursue knowledge in the fields of Talmud, law and theology.
