    Description

    The Living Talmud: The Wisdom of the Fathers and its Classical Commentaries
    by
    Judah Goldin
    1957
    Mentor Book
    247 pages
    This book is a marvelous work for two reasons. First, it presents in English the Pirke Avot, the Chapters of the Fathers, an ancient collection of the favorite sayings of the great Talmudic Sages. Second, it presents selected commentary on these sayings. The commentary is very helpful and ranges in date from 200 C.E. to more than 1200 C.E. (common era). Although these are the sayings of famous Jewish sages, almost all of them will be appealing and sensible to Christians, Moslems, Buddhists, Hindus, and Confucists. This is a must for students of comparative religion.
    back cover page has a reference page written in ink on it.
