Good and Bad Heretics

Prof. Michal Bar-Asher Siegal
Series: Humor and Satire in Interreligious Dialogue: The Case of the Babylonian Talmud

Focusing on a story in Tractate Hullin, we find a narrative that portrays a dichotomy between a "good" and a "bad" heretic, offering a glimpse into the complexities of theological dissent within the Jewish-Christian communities. What makes this narrative particularly intriguing is what it demonstrates about rabbinic knowledge of contemporary Christian beliefs.
