Publisher Synopsis
[A] carefully researched, and thoughtfully presented exploration of executions in rabbinic and Christian literature...[Berkowitz] presents a contextualised reading that reveals rabbis developing their own authority despite their status as colonial subjects. Her comfort using new theoretical frameworks to interpret rabbinic material should make this book of broad interest...Overall Berkowitz gives us a wonderful study. She demonstrates a fine talent at makingdifficult texts readable, she makes elegent use of modern interpretive strategies and she strikes a fine balance between complexity and clarity. She offers us a great gift. * Susan Marks, Journal of Jewish Studies * Read more...
