'Kaye's reconnection of time with place can take us closer to how not only the Rabbis or Augustine, but also modern scholars, could have conceived challenges in articulating the sense of time.' Sergey Dolgopolski, Reading Religion 'In this fascinating monograph, Kaye shows how many of the Bavli texts can contribute to contemporary theoretical examinations of time, and suggests future directions of research, particularly the application of similar methods of analysis to case law and narrative texts in the Mishna ... This is a captivating book on a number of topics that are essential to the crux of Jewish life and philosophy. At 160 pages, it is a good launching point, and Kaye provides plenty of references for additional reading.'
