A Scripture Index to Rabbinic Literature
Overview
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.

While this resource highlights the rabbinic resources not yet carried by Faithlife, it is a major step forward in the usefulness of the resources that are available. The scriptural references are tagged so that a search on a Bible reference works. What previous reviewers are complaining about is the lack of a Bible index. This means you must use a Collection section in a Guide to obtain results. I would like to see this resource folded into the Ancient Literature guide section.

I fully agree with the previous review. Excellent resource, but unfortunately, it does not work in sync with biblical texts and commentaries. I added it to "cited by" and searched Gen 1. It shows only a reference to Gen 1:1–5, incidentally mentioned in the introduction. I had great expectations about this resource, but without a complete indexation, it won't be as helpful as it could be.Jim Darlack

The resource is great addition for anyone interested in how the OT was received in early Judaism and Christianity. I hope it stands as another reason for Logos to acquire more rabbinic literature! My main criticism is that this resource would be best hyperlinked and constructed like a commentary (with milestones for each biblical reference) so that it can automatically scroll with biblical texts. Given that a large portion of the OT is covered (as well as a few NT passages) it would be great if it could be made part of a link-set so that it would track with other texts.
