The Talmud: selected writings

---

This volume sheds light on the early rabbis as the shapers of religion and uncovers for the modern reader the early Sages' fundamental beliefs concerning God, the world and the human condition. If you have interest in getting a flavor of the Talmud in English, this book does it well. The introduction is long but critical to the understanding of the content, and provides deep insights into the interpretation and development of Talmudic scholarship. The material itself is easily accessible in English, and consists of extracts from multiple tractates that are most commonly quoted or are considered important. Approachable for the non-Jew, the work provides an appreciation for the depth of scripture and the very real alternative to Biblical literalism.
