Talmuda de-Eretz Israel: Archaeology and the Rabbis in Late Antique Palestine

This book brings together historians, literature scholars, and archaeologists to explore how the integrated study of rabbinic texts and material culture increases our understanding of the complex nature of rabbinic culture. Steering away from 20th-century trends stressing disjunction between archaeology and rabbinic literature, this book seeks a more holistic approach, demonstrating the value of archaeology in contextualizing these texts.
