The Other Side of the Talmud Debate

The Other Side of the Talmud Debate Christian scholar Michael Hoffman replies to Dr. Asaf Yedidya's lecture at Oxford University, "Nazi Attacks on the Talmud: Anti-Semitic Readings of Jewish Texts." In his reply, Hoffman points out the use of misdirection and censored texts in the Oxford lecture and the numerous errors and omissions employed to demonize Talmud critics and whitewash the Babylonian Talmud. Hoffman documents Talmudic racism and permission for homicide by quoting Rabbis Shimon ben Yohai and Moses Maimonides, as well as from the Gemara itself, and rabbinic authorities having the status of Posek Ha-dor and Gadol Ha-dor._______________
