Review
When Professor Urbach wrote his monumental work Chazal nineteen years ago, it was greeted with universal acclaim...This new paperback edition will go even further to extend its readership and is sure to bring satisfaction to all who encounter it...This is a magnum opus by any standards...It is without equal in the English speaking world as a book to provide so complete and clear an insight into the talmudic mind which cannot but deepen one's respect for and commitment to the values for which they stood. (Ian S. Goodhardt L'Eylah, A Journal of Judaism Today)
[This book] remains a unique thematic survey of Rabbinic theology, cosmology, ethics, eschatology, theodicy, and philosophies of law and history...The thematic continuities which the Talmud, Midrash, and other great texts of the Rabbinic tradition embody but refuse to explicate for us are and have always been the real nerve of rabbinic dialogue. And these are what the vast and clearheaded erudition of Urbach makes accessible. (L. E. Goodman Philosophy East and West)

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
