520 "Born in the Land of Israel around the year 50 CE, Rabbi
Akiva was the greatest rabbi of his time and one of the
most important influences on Judaism as we know it today.
Traditional sources tell how he was raised in poverty and
unschooled in religious tradition but began to learn the
Torah as an adult. In the aftermath of the destruction of
Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE, he helped shape a new
direction for Judaism through his brilliance and his
character. Mystic, legalist, theologian, and interpreter,
he disputed with his colleagues in dramatic fashion yet
was admired and beloved by his peers. Executed by Roman
authorities for his insistence on teaching Torah in public,
he became the exemplar of Jewish martyrdom. Drawing on the
latest historical and literary scholarship, this book goes
beyond older biographies, untangling a complex assortment
of ancient sources to present a clear and nuanced portrait
of Talmudic hero Rabbi Akiva." -- Provided by publisher.
