Is the Talmud the Oral or Written Law?

In: Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Answer:

The Talmud is in part a documentation of the Oral Torah. Prior to the Babylonian exile, the Oral Torah was taught orally only. However, the sages at the time of the Babylonian exile were afraid that this information would be lost due to persecution so they began to write down the Oral Torah.
