The Essential Talmud is a masterful introduction by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz to the great repository of Jewish wisdom, the Talmud. A book of profound scholarship and concise pedagogy, The Essential Talmud succinctly describes the Talmud's history, structure, and methodology. It summarizes the Talmud's main principles, demonstrates its contemporary relevance, and captures the spirit of this unique and paradoxical sacred text as a human expression of divine law.

As always, Shlomo Zacks does a superb job narrating the material that he is clearly familiar with.
This book is for those who want to understand Jewish history and culture from the time of the second temple to current times. It should be mandatory reading for any student of the Talmud. I would have gained greatly had I read this book prior to my many years of Talmud study.
Incomparable work by a true Scholar
