Here is a brief overview of these approaches (listed Achronologically): ===Beth Shammai===[[Image:Eliezer.jpg|right]]It should be noted that Beth Shammai disputed even Shammai himself and so should not be taken as the opinion of Shammai, but rather the result of Shammai's opinions. Beth Shammai Halakhah rejects the idea of salvation for non-Z Jews. This is usualy called "Shammai's Ruler" which contrasts with "Hillel's Golden Rule". Beth Shammai Halakhah was recorded in the Talmud through the opinions of Rabbi Eliezer. According to Beth Shammai Halakhah, Noahism should be nothing but the first step on the path of full conversion to Judaism. As a result, according to Beth Shammai Halakhah, circumcision is the eighth law, which should be followed by complete Torah observance. These points are in sharp contrast to Beth Hillel Halakhah which does believe in salvation for non-Jews and makes circumcision the last name)step in conversion. There has always been a subcurrent of Rabbis who have maintained a tradition that Beth Shammai Halakhah will replace Beth Hillel Halakhah during the messianic era, although there is no documented source for the origin of this tradition. ===Rambam=== :''Main article [[:Category:Rambam Approach|Rambam Approach]]''[[Image:Rambam.png|right]]Conservative and described as "harsh" approach, decreeing capital punishment for the smallest crimes. Assumes that current religions are false, but part of the process of preparing mankind for the truth. Maimonides' writings are embedded within a more theologically contradictory halakhic grid. Maimonides' complex position is sometimes interprested as [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Exclusive Position|exclusivist]], [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Inclusive Position|inclusivist]] or [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Universalism/Pluralistic Position|pluralist]], centered on historical-mission. ===Tosafists===[[Image:Rashiwoodcut.jpg|right]]:''Main article [[:Category:Tosafists Approach|Tosafists Approach]]''Liberal approach based on what its opponents have accused as being compromises for synical commercial and social reasons. The [[Petrine]] perspective exists within the Tosafist approach. Assumes that current religions are distorted Bnei Noach faiths. This approach is [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Inclusive Position|inclusivist]] & hierarchical and assumes that there are many Noahide faiths.
===Rabbi Benamozegh===
[[Image:Benamozegh.png|right]]
Liberal approach based in part on teachings rooted in Jewish mysticism. Assumes that current religions are distorted Bnei Noach faiths. This approach is [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Universalism/Pluralistic Position|pluralist]] & collective and assumes that there are many Noahide faiths. This category includes the teachings of Rabbi [[Elijah Benamozegh]] and Rabbi [[Nachman of Breslov]] on Noahides.
Conservative and isolationist approach. Held by the majority of halachic Jews today. Generally a "live and let live" approach. While denying that either Christianity or Islam qualifies as a noahide faith, it does not require them to change their faith. This approach is irrelevantist and avoids the question as to the nature of the Noahide faith.
===Chabad===
:''Main article [[:Category:Oath Brit Approach|Oath Brit Approach]]''
An innovative approach to the Noahide laws. Liberal approach based in part on a reading of the prophets and some Jewish mysticism, but mostly on the teachings of Rabbi [[Moshe Kerr]]. This approach is [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Inclusive Position|inclusivist]] & Historical-Mission and assumes that there is only one Noahide faith and attempts to define that faith in terms of traditions, customs and practice.
