5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book on Judaism I have ever read,
By Andrew Samuel (asamuel@fl.asn.au) (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judaism in the First Three Centuries of the Christian Era (Hardcover)
This is a scholarly work by an author of immense erudition who never reveals his own beliefs but gives an elaborate and clear account of the religion known as Judaism as it developed during its normative period. The index of passages cited in the work is enough alone to humble all but the most profound of scholars of the Hebrew and Aramaic and classical sources. Anyone seriously interested in Judaism as a religion should read this book. Many years ago the late Professor Leon Roth (a former Rector of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem) said to me that he regarded the book as the best book in the English language on Judaism and possibly the best book in any language on Judaism. Having read it I agreed with him and in the intervening years I have never encountered anything to change my view. Highly recommended. |
