The aim of these volumes is to represent Judaism in the centuries in which it assumed definitive form as it presents itself in the tradition which it has always regarded as authentic. To exhibit the religious conceptions & moral principles of Judaism, its modes of worship & observance & its distinctive piety, in the form in which, by the end of the second century, they attained general acceptance & authority.
