The Treasury of Judaism: A New Collection and Translation of Essential Texts, Vol. 3

This is the second volume of a set of anthologies that sets forth the statements of the formative canon of influential Rabbinic Judaism on three large topics: the calendar, the life cycle, and theology. Focusing on the seminal period of normative Judaism, Jacob Neusner presents in three parts the teachings of Rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, the first six centuries of the Common Era. The topical abstracts, which deal with the sacred calendar (volume one), events in the life cycle (volume two), and theological expositions (volume three), are presented in documentary sequence, from the Mishnah, ca. 200, through the Bavli or Talmud of Babylonia, ca. 600. This is the story told in abundant selections of Rabbinic classics of the age, the first centuries C.E., in which the two Talmuds and Midrash came to closure.<br> <p><b>About the Author:</b><br> Jacob Neusner is Distinguished Service Professor of the History and Theology of Judaism and Senior Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Theology at Bard College. He is also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, and a Life Member of Clare Hall, Cambridge University</p>
