Theology in Action

This compelling 170-page paperback delves into the intricate structure of belief and behavior within Judaism, examining two crucial modes of discourse: Halakhic and Aggadic. Neusner artfully illustrates how the Babylonian Talmud articulates normative action through a dual discourse, revealing a unified and coherent theology that addresses both legal and narrative traditions.

Whether you are a scholar, student, or curious reader, Theology in Action offers essential perspectives on the sacred writings and social issues that shape Jewish thought today.
