Description: An extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law and tradition, the Talmud, compels readers to engage with its abundance of ideas on living a good life. Full of folk legends, bawdy tales and rabbinical back-and-forth over centuries, it is inspiring, demanding, confounding and thousands of pages long. And, as Liel Leibovitz enthusiastically explores, the Talmud is humanity's first self-help book, with sage advice on an unparalleled scope of topics, including dealing with grief, choosing friends and communicating with your partner. Weaving together psychology, philosophy and history with examples from Weight Watchers and the lives of Billie Holiday and Aristotle, Leibovitz makes the Talmud's insights reverberate for our modern age. Each chapter is focused on a fundamental human experience | ??the mind-body problem, business, love | ??to illuminate how the Talmud speaks to daily existence. Explaining the Talmud's origins and its pertinence today, Leibovitz shows how one of the world's oldest books can, indeed, change your life.

    Description: How are you handling change? Many changes are occurring now in the lives of all of us, but does 'change' have to equal 'crisis'? No. Not if you have the means with which you can change your experience of change-and that is what you are holding in your hand. This is more than a book about change. It's about how life itself works. It is about the very nature of change-why it happens, how to deal with it, and how to make it be 'for the better'. On these pages are Nine Changes That Can Change Everything. Is it possible that what you are about to read has come to you at the right and perfect time.? The author of the Conversations with God series presents a fresh and startling perspective on something that will never change: Change.

  • Waterstones Jesus in the Talmud

    Price: £28.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Scattered throughout the Talmud, the founding document of rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, can be found quite a few references to Jesus--and they're not flattering. In this lucid, richly detailed, and accessible book, Peter Schafer examines how the rabbis of the Talmud read, understood, and used the New Testament Jesus narrative to assert, ultimately, Judaism's superiority over Christianity. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus' birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus' resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell--and that a similar fate awaits his followers. Schafer contends that these stories betray a remarkable familiarity with the Gospels--especially Matthew and John--and represent a deliberate and sophisticated anti-Christian polemic that parodies the New Testament narratives. He carefully distinguishes between Babylonian and Palestinian sources, arguing that the rabbis' proud and self-confident countermessage to that of the evangelists was possible only in the unique historical setting of Persian Babylonia, in a Jewish community that lived in relative freedom. The same could not be said of Roman and Byzantine Palestine, where the Christians aggressively consolidated their political power and the Jews therefore suffered. A departure from past scholarship, which has played down the stories as unreliable distortions of the historical Jesus, Jesus in the Talmud posits a much more deliberate agenda behind these narratives.
