Product Description

Product Description

The Talmud is one of the most significant religious texts in the world, second only to the Bible in its importance to Judaism. As the Bible is the word of God, The Talmud applies that word to the lives of its followers. In a range of styles including commentary, parables, proverbs and anecdotes, it provides guidance on all aspects of everyday life from ownership to commerce to relationships. This selection of its most illuminating passages makes accessible the centuries of Jewish thought within The Talmud. Norman Solomon’s clear translation from the Bavli (Babylonian) Talmud is accompanied by an introduction on its arrangement, social and historical background, reception and authors. This edition also includes appendixes of background information, a glossary, time line, maps and indexes.

5.0 out of 5 stars DISCOVERING THE TALMUD, 3 May 2009
There are many books about Judaism, starting with the Torah, the five books which form the canon of the Jewish religion: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deutoronomy. There are many more books of exegesis of Judaism, written by rabbis across the world. This edition of The Talmud presents a selection of the full text of that work, translated into English, and it provides an insight into the intricately argued details of the full work.
