Synopsis

Essays analyze the major traditional texts of Judaism from literary, historical, philosophical, and religious points of view.

From the Back Cover

With chapters written by leading scholars specifically for this volume, 'Back to the Sources' is the first comprehensive guide to this literary legacy: the Bible, the Talmud, the midrashic literature, the commentaries, the legal codes, the mystical texts of the Kabbalah and of Hasidism, the philosophical works and the prayerbook.
