4.0 out of 5 stars the modern ortodox jewish comentry to the talmud, February 12, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Analytic Movement (Hardcover)

The only book which has been published about the most interesting commentery on the talmud. Solomon's book explore the text that constitute the intelctual life of the last century jewish rabais. This sorts of texts changed the way of interprataion, and has provided new methods to the ultra-ortodox rabais when the deal with those text. Solomon's book discuss those technics and gives the reader who are not aquainted with this literature an approach which could help him to understand those dificult texts. very recomended to those who interested in modern jewish text, and has very rare chnaces to meet the core of the rabais philosophy.
