The Making of a Sage: A Study in Rabbinic Ethics
Search in google:
In a theoretically framed examination of rabbinic ethics, Schofer (classical rabbinic literature, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) investigates how late ancient rabbis named and discussed their emotions, desires, and impulses; what ideals they established for character and action; and how they strove to transform themselves and attain those ideals. His study centers on the anthology The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
