This essay collection contains studies of rabbinic narratives found in the Mishnah, Talmuds, and midrashim. Contributors use a variety of methods drawn from literary and cultural theory to address fundamental questions such as the relationship between stories and law, between aggadic narratives and their halakic contexts, and between rabbinic narratives and their Greco-Roman, Persian-Sasanian and Syrian-Christian contexts. The volume includes eleven studies by contributors Gila Fine, Matthew Goldstone, Chaya T. Halberstam, Jenny R. Labendz, Lynn Kaye, Admiel Kosman, Avi M. Miller, Aviva Richman, Jeffrey L. Rubenstein, Mira Beth Wasserman, and Shlomo Zuckier.
