The Talmud

Great book from a great seller.Swiftly delivered. 100% 5 star

I'd recently been reading the Old Testament of the Bible from start to finish, & I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. I bought this version of The Talmud out of interest. I found it easy to read, and I enjoyed it. Recommended.

Very pleased with my recent purchase

I bought this item to familiarise myself more with the Talmud. I liked the selction insofar as it gave a flavour of the massive library the Talmud is. However, the focus of the selection is on the stories. I would have prefered a more balanced selection across all the genres the Talmud contains.

Brilliant amd in English. The price is fantastic too Highly recommend

👍 great for those interested in learning more about talmudic teaching and Judaism.

Best buy ever

I am so confused by this book. I obviously didn't expect this to be a complete translation of The Talmud as it is far too long to be contained in one paperback, but I have literally no idea from this book which parts of it are Mishnah and which Gemarra and have zero idea of the structure of The Talmud as this is laid out 'as the translator thought best' and not at all as The Talmud is actually laid out. I am a proselyte and was looking for the actual Talmud and calling this The Talmud is so misleading. It seems to be simply biblical commentary and then the teachings of the rabbis broken down in sections from each rabbi. Where are the sections that guide you through the actual unwritten law? Are they included in some sections here? Are they not included at all? (In which case you simy cannot call it a translation of the Talmud, as the introduction of this book does). I was wanting to learn about the actual Talmud, and not simply to read some of the contents of it redacted and rearranged. I am so disappointed.

Fine.

Nice book

This book is easy to follow. I enjoy learning that way.

Not the real Talmud it’s a fake version

I ordered this Talmud for my husband. Although we’re not Jewish, he’s a history buff as well as an avid Bible reader. He loved this book & couldn’t put it down! He found it so very interesting as well as informative and says he’s going to read it again…then, it’s my turn!! He highly recommends it of course. He liked the way it flowed with history as well as the Bible, particularly the Old Testament - well worth the money!
