Abstract

New Testament scholars have largely inherited Lightfoot's program, his attitude to rabbinic theology and the limitations of the literature which is available. A. Edersheim's works can be regarded as a useful popular reformulation of Lightfoot's findings. The pursuit for a theology of Judaism has proved much more difficult than working out the laws and practices of Judaism, because classical rabbinic literature contains so little theology. Halakhic literature is concerned with the interpretation and application of the laws of the Torah. The history of the development of rabbinic rulings suggests that the discussions of the Sabbath in the gospels can be regarded as criticisms of the developing Oral Law, not a rejection of the Sabbath law in the written Torah. The Mishnah, too, demonstrates the assumption that even non-pious individuals carry out the stipulations of the Written Torah, though not necessarily the Pharisaic Oral Torah. Keywords:gospel; Halakhic tradition; Jesus; Judaism; Mishnah; New Testament; rabbinic Writings; Sabbath; Torah

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
