Table of ContentsReviewsPaul Socken has assembled a formidable group of Talmudic scholars in this important volume. The vastly different backgrounds of the contributors are moved into the foreground by the question he poses to them, asking them to account for their commitment to the Talmud. Thus he manages to produce an interesting and insightful choir of voices that are by turns deeply moving, contemplative, and humorous. The Talmud once again acquires a new face, and hence is carried forth into the twenty-first century with new excitement.--Charlotte E. Fonrobert Author InformationPaul Socken is the founder of the Jewish Studies program at the University of Waterloo. He has been a professor of French literature there since 1973. He is the author of nine books and many scholarly articles. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
