Jacob Neusner offers here his final and definitive statement on [Rabbinic Judaism] after thirty-five years of research. This book is an encompassing introduction to Rabbinic Judaism its principal beliefs and the theological system that it established. The sublime faith of Judaism emerges in the encounter of God and humanity through the Torah as our sages of blassed memory taught it. Neusner provides a masterful inquiry into the documentary evidence of that Judaism and the religious world portrayed by the rich sources at our disposal.
