The Babylonian Talmud in Selection [Kindle Edition]

Leo Auerbach (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is a mid-20th century translation of selections from the Babylonian Talmud. Auerbach emphasizes in his introduction that the Talmud contains diverse voices. Indeed, this is one of the strengths of the Talmud; instead of a monolithic text, it allows for various viewpoints and opinions; the role of the reader is active, allowing us to consider each authority. Auerbach takes a longitudinal approach to this condensation of the multi-volume Talmud; he includes at least one tractate from each division of the text.--J.B. Hare

This review is from: The Babylonian Talmud in Selection (Paperback)

The Talmud of Babylonia or, is a sustained commentary on the written and oral law of Israel. Compiled between 500-600 C.E., it offers a magnificent record of how Jewish scholars preserved a humane and enduring civilization. Representing the primary document of rabbinic Judaism, light on the New Testament as well. This is very good translation I recommended this book .
