Book Description:
|
Explores the discrepancy between the way source texts relate to love and the way they are perceived to do so, introducing readers to the extensive, profound, and significant treatment of love in the Jewish canon. It brings about not only a change in perception - recognising the existence of the wisdom of love per se - but also the realization that this wisdom is the very foundation of religious wisdom as a whole, rather than a peripheral branch of it.
