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.
