A Scripture Index to Rabbinic Literature
Caleb T. Friedeman, ed.A Scripture Index to Rabbinic Literature is a
comprehensive Scripture index that catalogs approximately 90,000
references to the Bible found in classical rabbinic literature. This
literature comprises two categories: (1) Talmudic literature (i.e., the
Mishnah and related works) and (2) midrashic literature (i.e., biblical
commentary).
Each rabbinic reference includes a hard citation following SBL Handbook of Style,
the page number where the reference can be found in a standard English
edition, and an indication of whether the biblical reference is a direct
citation, allusion, or editorial reference. This incredibly handy
reference work is the first of its kind and is a welcome addition to
Hendrickson’s well-crafted line of reference books.
