Judaism in the First Centuries of the Christian Era: The Age of Tannaim
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Serious students of Judaism in the early centuries of the Common Era consider these three volumes indispensable for studying the Jewish world of the New Testament period. Besides looking at the historical issues surrounding Judaism, Moore examines Judaism's theology, its religious observances, views toward morality and piety, and Jewish reflections on the hereafter. His thoroughgoing familiarity with the primary sourcesÂ-Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash, and other writings from Judaism of the Common EraÂ-puts Moore in a class by himself. A comprehensive index and a volume of notes make this a prize, especially since it has not been available in its full form for more than twenty-five years. (Three volumes in two hardcovers.)
