Rabbinic Judaism Debunked
Rabbinic Judaism Debunked
Rabbinic Judaism, developed by Second Temple Pharisees, relies on the concept of “the Oral Law.” The idea is that one cannot know or please God, let alone understand, interpret or keep the law of Moses, without the help of the Oral Law, which was allegedly transmitted to the Sages of old directly from the mouth of God himself. This books seeks to debunk the idea of a God-given Oral Law and show that it was the invention of men, thus removing the foundation upon which rabbinic Judaism is established.
The authors have researched the main arguments for the existence of the Oral Law in literature, lectures, and recordings of Orthodox rabbis themselves, and then quote their words and refute their arguments. Being Jewish, the authors then offer their own counter-arguments against the doctrine of a God-given Oral Law as a necessary companion to the written Law of Moses.
Every explanation in this book is backed up by recent research including the work of hundreds of Bible scholars, historians, and archeologists - most of whom are Jewish Israelis.
This book will also reveal the motives behind the development of the Oral Law, showing how it functioned as the ultimate means by which the Pharisee sect rose to pre-eminence over every other stream of Judaism, effectively taking control of what it means to be Jewish.
While this book is grond-breaking in its polemical value, it is important for the authors to emphasize, as Jewish Israelis themselves, that this is not an anti-Jewish, anti-Israel or anti-semitic attack and shold never be conceived or used in this way.
