This review is from: New Talmudic Readings (Hardcover)
I find that the three *New Talmudic Readings* serve as a continuation of the *Nine Talmudic Readings*, at least insofar as the readings and lectures which comprise Levinas's *Nine Talmudic Readings* were all delivered in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the *New Talmudic Readings*, not surprisingly given the title, were presented in 1974, 1988, and 1989. It should not be forgotten that these two sets of Talmudic readings and lectures are not all that is there - Levinas offers no less than five more Talmudic readings in *Beyond the Verse*. There is, as should be expected, much overlap in the style and format of Levinas's teachings. So, if my arithmetic is correct, we have 9 + 3 + 5 = 17 Talmudic readings by Levinas; although I might go further to claim that, in a large part, Levinas's oeuvre (both philosophical and religious) is one sustained and comprehensive Talmudic reading, or a midrash on Torah.
