I am currently listening to a series of shiurim by R' Meir Triebitz on the subject at http://hashkafacircle.com/shiurim/category/history-development-of-the-talmud/

To be frank, I think RMT often places too much confidence on his own chiddushim. Something I too am very often guilty of with far less justification than he has. And then building structure atop structure. However, the shiurim are exposing me to sources and questions I never would be thinking about otherwise.

========================================
My review of the last shiur :His more general theory IIUC is that this writing (and the prior oral tradition of shakla v'taria {give and take}) is part of an ongoing process in which we (and all these before us) are not focused on the actual original meaning of a text (or statement). The statement is a jumping off point for gedolim to use their daas torah (and R'Halivni doesn't understand this). Well, actually in the Q&A it sounds a bit more complex .

I would love to hear others' take on his approach - it correlates well with Brisker Rambam interpretation?
