The Talmud: Selections Kindle Edition
by H. Polano (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (760)
THE object of the following pages is to give to the student and general reader a fair idea of the contents of the Talmud.
Some time since the translator was asked how it was that no English translation of the Talmud was in existence, and being convinced that many would be interested in its contents, he resolved upon the book which he now presents to the public. It is merely a collection of specimens, and makes no pretensions to any more advanced standing. The only object has been to give in plain, easy language, a correct idea of the scope, and as general an idea as possible of the varied sections of the ancient and wonderful work.

I ordered this Talmud for my husband. Although we’re not Jewish, he’s a history buff as well as an avid Bible reader. He loved this book & couldn’t put it down! He found it so very interesting as well as informative and says he’s going to read it again…then, it’s my turn!! He highly recommends it of course. He liked the way it flowed with history as well as the Bible, particularly the Old Testament - well worth the money!

This is NOT the talmud. You will be only deceived reading this fake translation. I am just going to print a pdf version and get an accurate account of jewish law. This is a joke on non jews of a book.

I’ve heard so much bashing of the Talmud over the years when digging for information on other wars, perspectives, etc and I’ve looked for the last few years but couldn’t find anything in English. After listening to Douglas Vogt of Diehold Foundation in his YouTube presentations and what he says about the Hebrew Bible, the Apocalypse and all that I searched and found this. It’s the most reader friendly biblical stories I’ve ever come across, not the crazy Khazari pagan ritualistic trash about raping babies and all that stuff. It was interesting and I wish it was bigger.

I'd recently been reading the Old Testament of the Bible from start to finish, & I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. I bought this version of The Talmud out of interest. I found it easy to read, and I enjoyed it. Recommended.

Reading The Talmud is not like reading a traditional book; it's entering into an ongoing, centuries-old conversation. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those interested in theology, ethics, law, and human complexity.

I bought this item to familiarise myself more with the Talmud. I liked the selction insofar as it gave a flavour of the massive library the Talmud is. However, the focus of the selection is on the stories. I would have prefered a more balanced selection across all the genres the Talmud contains.
