A general introduction to the beliefs, attitudes, and methods of the sacred text by which the Jewish people have lived and survived through the ages by a renowned Israeli rabbi, scholar, and teacher. The first book to capture the flavor and spirit of the Talmud as a human document and to summarize its main principles as an expression of divine law.
I love the way Rabbi Steinsaltz walks his reader through the pages of such rich history, such beautiful lore and meaningful tradition and makes it all living. I highly recommend the book for beginners who approach the topic of Rabbinic literature and related studies. Those who know Rabbinic literature and history already might be bored a bit. The book gets to be a bit philosophical but not too scholarly. It is fairly easy to understand and really should be read in one gulp. This way the information scattered in all the chapters would make sense. My only disappointment with the book, though the material is excellent, there are not sources listed, there are no detailed bibliographies. It is as if Rabbi Steinsaltz just wrote it all from memory one afternoon. May be it is just me but I crave sources and bibliographies on the information that interests me so much.
