Written in a hybrid of Hebrew and Aramaic, it is often ambiguous to the point of incomprehension, and its subject matter reflects a narrow scholasticism that should hardly have broad appeal. Yet the Talmud has remained in print for centuries and is more popular today than ever. Barry Scott Wimpfheimer tells the remarkable story of this ancient Jewish book, explaining why the Talmud is at once a received source of traditional teachings, a touchstone of cultural authority, and a powerful symbol of Jewishness for supporters and critics alike.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Lives of Great Religious BooksRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
