The Sages

Two volumes in slipcase. The author presents in this work, which is based on an exhaustive study of the sources by means of philological-historical methods, a vivid picture of the religious and social thoughts of the Tanna'im and Amora'im, their absorption and rejection of extraneous concepts, their spiritual struggles and the goals they sought to achieve. The intellectual ferment marking this era crystallised principles that fashioned the Jewish national and religious image for generations.Ephraim E. Urbach is the author of 'The Sages', published 1975 under ISBN 9789652233196 and ISBN 9652233196.
