Free Wisdom Of The Talmud Ebooks To Download
This is a highly comprehensive introduction to the Talmud, the age-old storehouse of Jewish wisdom. Bokser covers the long history of the Talmud, from its origin in the Babylonian exile, its growth through the five centuries after the Roman destruction of the Temple, and the later persecution of the Talmud. The book covers a number of high-level topics, including social ethics and personal morality, with numerous examples from the Talmud. Ben Zion Bokser was one of the major Conservative rabbis of America. He stressed the Rabbinic sages and the Talmud as the source of Judaism. "This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians - that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression. Judaism is not the religion of the Bible." Bokser affirms revelation, but revelation is always framed in humans by man. "Man receives a divine communication when the divine spirit rests on him, but man must give form to that communication."

This book is a quick read and is an excellent history of the Talmud. It also includes excerpts from the Talmud that should whet your appetite for Talmud study.I believe the book was recently put back in print. I also believe its copyright has expired and is available as a pdf.I would shop around as the price quoted here is high. Even if it is available as a pdf, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of the book.
Did you always wanted the reveal the secrets of the Talmud and you couldn't because it was too hard? This book comes to make the Talmud easy to understand and enjoy!! I recommend it. The Talmud could be a reference book as well.Orit Murad Rehany author ofA River of Tears, The River of Hope
I have studied Vedic literature for over 30 years. However I am new to the study of western religion. I find this book absolutely engrossing. The abundance of parallels between Talmud and what I have learned from the Vedas is totally fascinating.
Well written, concise, easy to read. An erudite and thoughtful overview of the Talmud. Ben Zion Bokser is very precise in his use of words.Gives one insight into a thousand-year old process for living a super life.
I am in my late 60's and have had a renewed interest in spiritual matters. I am studying various religious philosophy and although I have little interest in"Religion" I enjoy comparing differences. This has brought me back to my youth for which I am eminently grateful
