In Rabbis, Sorcerers, Kings, and Priests, Jason Mokhtarian examines the Talmud—a collection of Jewish laws and narratives by Babylonian rabbis—and it's depiction of Persians, Sasanian Kings, and Zoroastrian Priests. The book is divided into six chapters with an introduction and conclusion. Mokhtarian begins by describing the means of studying the Talmud and Iran. He follows up by exploring the various relationships in Persian society in the context of the Sasanian Empire by means of the traditional Judiac history studies tools of philology and history. The book itself aims to investigate how Babylonian rabbis were influenced by the culture, history, and social connections of the Sasanian Empire. Moreover, Rabbis, Sorcerers, Kings, and Priests attempts to evaluate how scholars should utilize the Talmud in comparison to other inscriptions or literature from the Sasanian Empire. Rabbis, Sorcerers, Kings, and Priests: The Culture of the Talmud in Ancient Iran is an important contribution to Talmudic studies.
