Sarna Memorial Award), Jewish Book Council Hayes's careful examination of the full range of this literature, especially her deep evaluation of the developments within Rabbinism, represents a major step in understanding of both a central concept in law and a fundamental underpinning of Judaism from antiquity until the present day. --A. J. Avery-Peck, Choice Christine Hayes has both enriched and challenged the scholarly community with a thoroughly explorative, ambitious, and erudite study of the modalities of Jewish law in relation to Graeco-Roman law theory. --Peter J. Tomson, Journal for the Study of Judaism
