Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law by Chaim N. Saiman is a throughgoing study of what halakhah, often translated as (Jewish) Law, actually means different things in a variety of contexts. Is the Torah law like secular law? Yes and no. Saiman will walk you through this. Are the rules, guidelines, and pathways the Talmud lays out meant to be applied? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. Read this very informative book to examine these wonderful subtleties.
