Description: Early Christian Monastic Literature and the Babylonian Talmud by Michal Bar-asher Siegal Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book contributes to a new understanding of the interaction between Jews and Christians in the ancient world, particularly in the Persian Empire, and of the development of the Babylonian Talmud, the most central book for the development of Jewish culture. Publisher Description This book examines literary analogies in Christian and Jewish sources, culminating in an in-depth analysis of striking parallels and connections between Christian monastic texts (the Apophthegmata Patrum or The Sayings of the Desert Fathers) and Babylonian Talmudic traditions. The importance of the monastic movement in the Persian Empire, during the time of the composition and redaction of the Babylonian Talmud, fostered a literary connection between the two religious populations. The shared literary elements in the literatures of these two elite religious communities sheds new light on the surprisingly inclusive nature of the Talmudic corpora and on the non-polemical nature of elite Jewish-Christian literary relations in late antique Persia.
