The Talmud: Judaism's challenging, controversial book of arguments

3 cr · Undergraduate

The Talmud is as important as the Bible in Jewish life and thought. It is not simply a book to read; it has to be studied with other people. Students will learn the skills of studying this polyvocal text, and engage with scholarship on the Talmud's literary techniques, laws, folklore, gender politics, and theology. Students may not hold credit for both RLGN 3810 and the former RLGN 2150.
