"Offers a fascinating introduction to the codified oral
tradition."--Christianity Today
"Rabbi Steinsaltz not only organizes and clarifies a vast amount of
highly complex material, but manages to suggest the magnetism of
the Talmudic commitment through the centuries...[a] worthwhile
introduction to the character and genius of the Talmud for non-Jews
and a refresher course for Jews who wish an uncluttered layman's
view."--Kirkus Reviews
"Steinsaltz is a consummate master of the subject...extremely
helpful."--Commentary
