The Sages Volume 4: From The Mishna To The Talmud by Rabbi Binyamin Lau (BKE-TS4)

Followingits publication, the Mishna became a quasi-sacred work with a fixed text that was interpreted and invoked to explain all other teachings...The transformation of the Mishna into an authoritative and canonicla halakhic text ushered in a major new era in the history of Jewish study: the talmudic age. The Mishna served as the basis for thousands of discussions that involved analyzing its finer points, comparing it to parallel sources, and interpreting each sentence and phrase, thereby creating talmudic discourse. Thus we find ourselves shifting from the era of the Mishna to the era of the Talmud, accompanying the sages of the time.
