'O my God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from uttering guile'
The most important text in Judaism after the Old Testament— available for the first time in Penguin Classics
One of the most significant religious texts in the world, The Talmud is
a compilation of the teachings of major Jewish scholars from the
classic period of rabbinic Judaism. In a range of styles, including
commentary, parables, proverbs, and anecdotes, it provides guidance on
all aspects of everyday life. This selection of its most illuminating
passages makes accessible to modern readers the centuries of Jewish
thought contained within. Norman Solomon's lucid translation from the
Bavli (Babylonian) is accompanied by an introduction on The Talmud's
arrangement, social and historical background, reception, and authors.
