Reviews
'This penetrating essay will stimulate new research on Jewish law while also providing an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses - on Jewish law, on comparative law, and on religion and law. With rigorous attention to legal methodologies, and with well-chosen and wide-ranging bibliographies for all topics, the essay presents a refreshing account of the unfolding of Talmudic law as a field of study.' George R. Wilkes, Jewish Law Association
'Dr Licari has written an excellent and concise introduction to Jewish law for the reader of English. He provides a masterful overview of the basic jurisprudence of this very unique religious legal system. Many would benefit from reading this work.' Michael J. Broyde, Emory University, Atlanta
'This concise, well-written (if dense), and often brilliant study is far more than its modest title would suggest.' L. D. Loeb, Choice
