John 1:47

Luke 11:52 When there is so much regard paid to the testimony of men, which can never be the ground of our faith, it cannot be questioned but that more regard is due to the testimony of the author and finisher of our faith: 'For if we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater."

John Glas The Testimony of the King of Martyrs (1729)

Illustrations and reasons of the laws of Moses I never take from the Talmud. The oral traditions of the ignorant rabbis...(give) not the sense of the Mosaic writings. Many of the laws in the Pentateuch would make a strange figure indeed, if we were to interpret them as the Pharisees did, whose exposition, according to Christ's declaration, in many cases served to inculcate doctrines and precepts directly the reverse of what Moses had taught and commanded...Those, therefore, who in this work expect to find Talmudic law, will be much disappointed. I do not even mean to mention the names of those men, whose oracles are held up to us in the Talmud; nor indeed of the rabbis in general....even with regard to Jewish antiquities, prior to the Babylonian captivity, the Talmud is...an impure source of information...a book...which appeals only to oral traditions can tell us nothing worthy of credit...I have nothing to do with the law of the present Jews...

Johann David Michaelis Commentaries on the Laws of Moses *

*Vol. 1, pp. 51-52; published in Britain in four volumes in 1814. Originally published in German as Mosaisches Recht, in six volumes (1770-1775). Michaelis was Professor of Old Testament exegesis, Hebrew antiquities, Mosaic law, and Semitic languages at the University of Gttingen from 1745 to 1791. Goethe spoke highly of his knowledge and talent. Mosaisches Recht was considered the Enlightenment-era encyclopedia of the Torah. Michaelis also served as editor of the preeminent publication for Biblical research in Europe, the Orientalische und exegetische Bibliothek (Oriental and Exegetical Library).

At no period of his life was DIsraeli a rabbinist or Talmudist; a large and liberal philosophy raised him...above all the exclusive, intolerant and anti-social glosses with which the authors of the Mishna and Gemara have encumbered and distorted the Mosaic legislation.

W.C. TaylorMemoir of the Late Isaac DIsraeli**In Curiosities of Literature (London: George Routledge and Sons, 1893), p. viii.

According to Jewish law, the minute a Jew betrays his people and country to the enemy, he must be killed. No one taught me that law. Ive been studying the Talmud all my life, and I have all the data.

Citing a tale from the Talmud in which the rabbis tell God, You gave us a document to interpret, and a methodology for interpreting it. Now leave us to do our job, (Harvard Law Prof. Alan) Dershowitz sees a lesson for Americans.

The cities of Sura and Pumbedisa (also spelled Pumbeditha) are reputed to be the places where the Tannaim and the Amoraim concocted Judaisms authoritative Talmud. In Sura was allegedly established, circa the third century A.D., the foundational Yeshiva Gedola which functioned for hundreds of years but fell on hard times after the Christian conquest of Mesopotamia. Only with the subsequent Muslim conquest were the many decrees and limitations that had been placed on Babylons rabbis lifted. Other important Talmud centers in Babylon cited in the legends of the Gemara include Nehardeia and Mechoza. Shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, sixteen commandos from the U.S. Armys elite MET Alpha unit, under the command of Col. Richard R. McPhee, were dispatched on a mission to search Baghdad in order to locate rabbinic antiquities, including one of the most ancient copies of the Talmud in existence, dating from the seventh century.*
