 | | Talmud by the Qaraites in their controversies with the Rabbis we owe the preservation of this recension, incomplete though it is. To the intolerance of Christians are no doubt due the rarity of old MSS., and the impure state of the text of both Talmuds. | | | Talmud did not attain the eminence of the sister recension, and survives in a very incomplete form, although it was perhaps once fuller. | | | The relationship of Talmudism to the Old Testament has been likened to that of Christian theology to the Gospels; the comparison, whether fitting or not, may at least enable one to understand the varying attitudes of Jewish thinkers to their ancient sources. |

| | Talmud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Reform and Reconstructionist Jews usually do not teach much Talmud in their Hebrew schools, but they do teach it in their rabbinical seminaries; The world view of liberal Judaism rejects the idea of binding Jewish law, and uses the Talmud as a source of inspiration and moral instruction. | | | The Talmud is also traditionally referred to as Shas (a Hebrew abbreviation of shishah sedarim, the "six orders" of the Mishnah). | | | There are a number of quotes about individuals named Yeshu that once existed in editions of the Talmud; these quotes were long ago removed from the main text due to accusations that they referred to Jesus, and are no longer used in Talmud study. |

| | The contents of the Palestinian Talmud were written by Palestinian scholars between the 3rd century AD and the beginning of the 5th century; those of the Babylonian Talmud, by scholars who wrote between the 3rd century and the beginning of the 6th century. | | | The Talmud (Hebrew for "teaching" or "study"), a vast compendium of Jewish law and lore, is a unique literary document - a sequel to the Hebrew Bible - and the basis of Jewish religious life. | | | It was also the object of violent attacks by persons who had no knowledge of its contents, from medieval fanatics - 24 cartloads of Talmud manuscripts were burned in Paris in 1242 - to Nazi propagandists in the 1930s. |

| | What Is the Talmud? - Jehovah's Witnesses Official Web Site |
| | The rabbis of the Talmud set out to prove that the Mishnah was from the same source as the Hebrew Scriptures. | | | One sage quoted in the Talmud spoke of "sparks of fire" leaping between the mouths of the rabbis during a debate. | | | This term comes from the Hebrew root "to go" and indicates the 'way of life one should go by.' All other matters—stories about rabbis and Bible characters, wise sayings, concepts of belief and philosophy—are called Haggadah, from the Hebrew root "to tell." Halakah and Haggadah were intermingled during rabbinic debate. |

| | Modern scholars have adopted a variety of different approaches to the question of diverse sources in the Talmud, and it will be helpful to describe several which are relevant to the present book. | | | Distinctions between the anonymous and attributed sections of the Talmud, I claim, also show the diversity of the Talmud's source material. | | | When a text presents Abaye or Rava commenting on Yirmiya's statements rather than conversing with him, we can be reasonably certain that the text reflects the Talmud's dominant view regarding these sages and not scribal carelessness or misunderstanding. |
