As a Driven Leaf
Product Description Read by George Guidall, AS A DRIVEN LEAF is a novel in which fictional and historical characters comfortably co-exist. It is the gripping tale of the renegade Talmudic sage Elisha ben Abuya, caught in a personal struggle between his own faith and the compelling culture of Rome, circa 70 C.E. The genius of Milton Steinberg's great work is that it illuminates the political and intellectual conflicts of Rabbinic times in a way that shows their relevance to Jewish faith, nationhood and personal development in every era, including our own. AS A DRIVEN LEAF first appeared in 1940 and has been in print ever since. From the Inside Flap It was a time of revolution, when Judaism clashed with the pagan world of Rome. And the same conflict raged within Elisha himself. About the Author When Milton Steinberg died in 1950 at the young age of 46, he was widely considered one of America's most brilliant young scholars, equally literate in western secular culture and the Jewish intellectual tradition. He taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary and shared in developing Reconstructionism under the leadership of Rabbi Modercai Kaplan. His book BASIC JUDAISM has been consistently popular since 1947.
