By paying attention to how the Mishnah uses traditions for its own purposes the interpreter can appreciate the building blocks of Judaism: its politics, economics, and philosophy.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jacob Neusner</note> <subject> <topic>Judaism -- Essence, genius, nature</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">296.12306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J15-N50</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0391041592</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/6/z3085521809494_cc2108ed2fcc03813f949e0409562bb5.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/6/z3085521809494_cc2108ed2fcc03813f949e0409562bb5.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070440.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
