audiobook Spitfire II/V vs Bf 109F: Channel Front 1940–42 (Duel) by Tony Holmes in History

Description

Containing nearly two million words in thirty-seven volumes; the Talmud covers topics as diverse as law; faith; medicine; magic; ethics; sex; humor; and prayer. It is a highly complex; profoundly logical; and frequently impenetrable work with a history like no other. In its fifteen-hundred-year history; the Talmud has been banned; censored; and burned; dissected by scholars and rabbis; probed by philosophers; poets; politicians; and kings. In The Talmud; Jewish scholar Harry Freedman tells the engrossing story of an ancient classic; the legal and mystical pillar of Judaism; and recounts the story of a chronicle that; in many ways; parallels the history of the Jewish people. From its origins as a record of discussions among scholars in towns and villages close to modern-day Baghdad; Freedman traces the spiraling paths of the Jewish diaspora and explores the story of the Talmud; its role during the Enlightenment; and its influence over traditional Judaism. A compelling fusion of law; storytelling; and spirituality; the Talmud's story provides fascinating insight into the history of Judaism; and Harry Freedman's The Talmud – A Biography is a remarkable account of one of the most important cultural; historical; and religious works of our time.
