"To some readers of this book, the Talmud represents little more than a famous Jewish book. But people want to know about a book that, they are told, defines Judaism. Everyman's Talmud is the right place to begin not only to learn about Judaism in general but to meet the substance of the Talmud in particular . . . In time to come, Cohen's book will find its companion-though I do not anticipate it will ever require a successor for what it accomplishes with elegance and intelligence: a systematic theology of the Talmud's Judaism." --From the Foreword by Jacob Neusner This classic introduction reveals the wisdom of the rabbinic sages on such topics as the doctrine of God; God and the universe; the soul and its destiny; prophesy and revelation; physical life; moral life and social living; law, ethics, and jurisprudence; legends and folk traditions; the Messiah and the world to come. Review: A Brilliant and Condensed Portrait of Thinking Inherent in the Talmud - An extraordinary piece of scholarship, summarising into a systematic form, the basic theological/spiritual/cultural paradigms which both fed and are inherent in the Talmud. This work is helpful in redirecting the reader to the extraordinarily monolithic nature of Judaism across both time and geography, in contradistinction to much scholarship which seeks to – and often helpfully – shed light on the differences between various Jewish sects and periods. Abraham Cohen helps one to remember that Judaism is and has been both consistent in respect to key ideas about God and Israel, whilst producing breadth in the detail. Cohen reminds us that if you want the same hundred answers to one question, then ask a hundred rabbis how many gods there are. Review: Excellent summary. - A very good summary of the some of the key points in the Talmud. Easy to understand and read. Works well as a study aid, or for personal understanding. It basically paraphrases some of the main discussions around certain topics and explains why certain opinions were reached. As with the whole Talmud, it's an interpretation of opinions and Torah teachings. Would recommend as a good second stage book, as you need some basic understanding for it to make sense. It doesn't cover everything, and a more in-depth student might find it too basic. Was perfect for me though. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,029,783 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 55 in Talmud (Books) 482 in Jewish Theology 963 in Religious History of Judaism | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 498 Reviews | ## Images ![Everyman's Talmud: The Major Teachings of the Rabbinic Sages - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91b6lRhcgEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ small but mighty *by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 May 2009* 400 pages or so of classical jewish thought.i bought it as a reference work, but my wife loves it. She found the chapter entitled 'domestic life' to be absolutely superb containing some fascinating information which opened her eyes to the jewish perceptions of women and the home (particularly the sections on divorce and re-marriage) which helped her understand both the OT and the writings of Paul ore clearly.for this reason alone, I have to recommend it to anyone.but the books examines the biblical understanding of the ontology of God, cosmology, God's revelation through Torah, domestic life, social life, morality, life and death, folklore (including demons, the evil inclination, disease, etc), judicial issues and the age to come (including the messianic age).As an eye opener to the belief system of much of second temple judaism (the time of jesus and the apostles) it is worth owning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brilliant and Condensed Portrait of Thinking Inherent in the Talmud *by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 April 2016* An extraordinary piece of scholarship, summarising into a systematic form, the basic theological/spiritual/cultural paradigms which both fed and are inherent in the Talmud.
