Super! - By: "Smith" Reader, 15 Nov 2007 
As a Christian who wants to learn more about the 'Mother Faith' & as someone who has a great respect for my Jewish friends - this book has been a wonderful introduction.
Well worth buying.
A good introductory reader - By: Man, 11 May 2003 
A comprehensive treatment of the different ideas & beliefs expressedin the Talmud. Abraham Cohen manages to collect & order the views expressed over the huge span of the Talmud, & condense them into one invigorating encyclopedia of wisdom.
My only gripe is that, while the book describes the viewpoints expressed, it does not go into much detail about how the Sages reach those conclusions, the diversity & the debate behind the opinions. I suppose that would make the book a couple times bigger though. Oh well, there's no Talmud like the real Talmud!
Readable yet authoritative - By: , 24 Aug 2002 
A very readable & clearly written introduction to the Talmud. Well referenced for further interesting study. Concise yet comprehensive, readable yet authoritative.
