"One of the most authoritative scholars and teachers of Judaism outside the walls of the yeshivas, Neusner presents a comprehensible overview of this core Jewish text in a single volume and cogently argues that it is just as relevant for life in 2004 as it was for life in 200."" -Berkshire Jewish Voice, 3/18/04-4/14/04"“…Professor Neusner summarizes almost fifty years of research, study and writing on Rabbinic literature.… What is most blatant is the boundless love for Rabbinic literature, his deep respect for the intellectual contents, and not only for the Halakhic and formal aspects.” –Gesher (Journal of Jewish Affairs), Winter 2004“…this book on the nature and structure of the Mishnah may truly represent the culmination of his scholarship.” –Jewish Book World, Spring 2005 (American Jewish Archives Journal)
