Overview

“Refreshingly self-reflective, this project represents an entirely new way of writing rabbinics scholarship. One of the first texts I’ve read in years that stands to be a genuine ‘field-shaking’ book.”—Rachel Rafael Neis, Jean and Samuel Frankel Associate Professor of Rabbinics, University of Michigan, and author of The Sense of Sight in Rabbinic Culture: Jewish Ways of Seeing in Late Antiquity
  
 “This book is a thrilling achievement, sure to be a touchstone for years and likely decades to come. Max Strassfeld makes an immense contribution to the study of rabbinic texts, the ancient world, and gender, sexual, and embodied variability, so much so that a rather wide range of audiences will benefit tremendously from this theoretically informed yet engagingly indispensable book.”—Joseph Marchal, Professor of Religious Studies, Ball State University, and author of Appalling Bodies: Queer Figures Before and After Paul’s Letters
