Specificatii
The Babylonian Talmud, a postbiblical Jewish text that is part
scripture and part commentary, is an unlikely bestseller. 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 and explains why it has endured for almost two
millennia.Providing a concise biography of this quintessential work
of rabbinic Judaism, Wimpfheimer takes readers from the Talmud's
prehistory in biblical and second-temple Judaism to its present-day
use as a source of religious ideology, a model of different modes
of rationality, and a totem of cultural identity. He describes the
book's origins and structure, its centrality to Jewish law, its
mixed reception history, and its golden renaissance in modernity.
He explains why reading the Talmud can feel like being swept up in
a river or lost in a maze, and why the Talmud has come to be
venerated--but also excoriated and maligned--in the centuries since
it first appeared.An incomparable introduction to a work of
literature that has lived a full and varied life, this accessible
book shows why the Talmud is at once a received source of
traditional teachings, a touchstone of cultural authority, and a
powerful symbol of Jewishness for both supporters and critics.
