Leí el prefacio para mi maestría y me resultó muy interesante la óptica de los autores quienes supieron ver en los sabios de la época del Talmud, los Amoraím, la visón de formadores de las estructuras de lo que sería la vida judía íntegramente.

One of the greatest things I've ever read. Can't wait to find the time one day for the entirety of it.

I found the presentation of this book tho be disjointed. there was often a thread of logic, but some of the commentaries didn't seem to really come to a conclusion. perhaps it tries to capture the different rabbinical viewpoints for the various topics.
