More about the book
Exploring the concept of time in late antiquity, the book delves into how rabbis differentiated their experiences from those of Roman imperialism, Christians, and gender roles. Each chapter examines specific aspects of rabbinic discourse, such as the significance of the Sabbath in establishing "Jewish time" versus "Christian time," and how rituals created distinct "men's" and "women's" time. Additionally, it reflects on the relationship between divine and human time. The work highlights the crucial role of time in shaping Jewish identity and theology throughout history.
