Reviews
"Skibell's work is lucid and erudite, and he does honor to his subject matter...A fresh look at an ancient source."-- "Kirkus" (2/15/2016 12:00:00 AM)
". . . highly readable, and deeply thought-provoking...he presents the Talmud's treatment of its own authors as both role models and warnings, a remarkably self-reflective approach that is needed today perhaps more than ever."-- "Jewish Book Council" (5/13/2016 12:00:00 AM)
