Rabbinic jurisprudence is characterized by a fundamental uncertainty: Do humans ever have the knowledge required to administer and implement a divine law and so render perfect justice? This dissertation traces the relationship between commitment to law and enduring uncertainty as it appears in rare and subtle instances of rabbinic legal reasoning by arguing that uncertainty is not merely a problem to be tackled by law, but rather should be seen as a driving force behind the rabbinic construction of a system of jurisprudence that paradoxically relies on limited human beings to administer a perfect divine law.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Rabbinic jurisprudence is characterized by a fundamental uncertainty: Do humans ever have the knowledge required to administer and implement a divine law and so render perfect justice? This dissertation traces the relationship between commitment to law and enduring uncertainty as it appears in rare and subtle instances of rabbinic legal reasoning by arguing that uncertainty is not merely a problem to be tackled by law, but rather should be seen as a driving force behind the rabbinic construction of a system of jurisprudence that paradoxically relies on limited human beings to administer a perfect divine law.
520 $a This dissertation shows that early rabbinic literature offers a polyvalent portrait of the status of human law, justice, responsibility, and authority in a highly uncertain world. The rabbis embraced uncertainty not only in their approach to interpretation but also to the practice of law by questioning their ability to know the true facts of cases. Therefore, this dissertation will examine the interpretation of facts in cases of legal judgment through rabbinic discussions of evidence law, particularly discussions of physical evidence. By combining narrative and midrashic accounts of human justice and uncertainty with legal texts, it demonstrates how doubt undergirds rabbinic attitudes to the interpretation of evidence, and explores how this doubt is both a source of creativity and a challenge to the possibility of true justice.
520 $a Part I explores the distinctive theology of the rabbis regarding divine law and divine justice by surveying some biblical and Second Temple ideas of certain divine retribution and distinguishing rabbinic epistemological uncertainty about acts of God from these approaches. Part II examines the interpretation of evidence in rabbinic literature, showing how it fills the gap---however incompletely---left by turning away from a focus on divine justice. It explores the role of physical evidence in biblical narrative and rabbinic midrash, and also in three different legal spheres: ritual impurity, property, and criminal law.
