Torah Shebaal Peh: Shmonah Perakim Al Samchuta V'Dracheha shel HaToshabap / תורה שבעל פה סמכותה ודרכיה הרב יהושע ענבל

A Masterful Historical & Legal Defense of Oral Torah Tradition

Torah Shebaal Peh: Samchuta V'Dracheha is a landmark scholarly work published by the prestigious Mosad Rav Kook institute. Authored by the renowned researcher Rabbi Yehoshua Inbal (a member of the Talmudic Encyclopedia editorial board), this massive volume offers a comprehensive, systematic exploration into the historic roots, transmission, and structural authority of the Rabbinic Oral Tradition.

Spanning eight deep academic and theological chapters (Shmonah Perakim), this work actively addresses modern historical-critical challenges and biblical criticism. It bridges traditional yeshiva frameworks with scientific academic inquiry to comprehensively prove the ancient origins, absolute legal authority, and meticulous preservation methods implemented by the Sages of the Mishnaic and Talmudic eras (Tannaim and Amoraim).
