Title: The Classics of Judaism. A Textbook and Reader
Description: Louisville, Westminster John Knox Press, 1995. xxii,486 pp. Handwritten name on halftitle. Else clean and fine. Paperback. Judaica. In order to understand the faith of Judaism, according to Jacob Neusner, one must look at the very foundation of that faith: the Torah. To believers, this act of studying the Torah provides a direct and immediate link to the living God and forms the very basis of a faithful Jewish life. In this book, Jacob Neusner introduces the reader to selections from all the documents of the Torah, in addition to Scripture, that define the canon of Judaism in its formative age. The Classics of Judaism is, however, more than a collection of writings. It is also a primer for learning how to approach and read any book of Judaism. ISBN: 9780664254551
