This is my #ShabbatReading.

“During the same period when the Church Fathers were drawing a razor-sharp distinction between correct doctrine and heresy, while taking a Paulinian, antinomian vote about matters of law, the Rabbis were defining with the utmost precision what constitutes correct action, while permitting virtually unrestricted freedom of speculation in theology.”

- Rayner, 1998, Jewish Religious Law: A Progressive Perspective, p. 29
