The Dynamics of Dispute: The Makings of Machlokess in Talmudic Times

That did the Sages do when they found themselves without answers to halachic issues? What processes were used to discover the answers? Why did these processes lead to different conclusions? Rabbi Lampel examines these issues comprehensively and provides answers that are neither simplistic nor evasive to questions that beginners in Talmud study often suppress. This work makes extensive use of talmudic sources and annotations and includes an introductory perspective based on suggestions made by Rav Shimon Schwab.
