商品簡介
Excerpts from the Talmud relating to problems of enduring social importance. The anthology as a whole is divided into the three native or classical categories God, Torah, and Israel, which correspond to the modern secular notions of ethos, ethics, and ethnos. The first volume, dealing with issues of ethics, considers how the Talmud of Babylonia addresses such matters as the rationality of disputes, the requirement of strict justice, fair employment and business practices, and the religious life. Substantial chapter introductions provide frameworks. No index or bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
