Description

Schofer's work is an excellent scholarly opening to this topic, and yet also speaks to a wider audience. It focuses on 'The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan' which is a fascinating collection of Rabbinic stories and teachings. Schofer also addresses wider themes in rabbinic ethics. I recommend this book to anyone interested in classical Judaism or ancient philosophy in general. I believe you will find this book's content valuable and its style very readable. Truly I look forward to Schofer's next book.
