I'd recommend the three books mentioned here: >>24619858 especially the third one. The book "Judaism Discovered" gives some good starting material, making it a lot more accessible to the English reader. It is a pretty comprehensive study on the subject, whether or not you agree with some of the writer's conclusions (I agree with some but not others myself).

If you want more of a comparative in-depth study between it and the Bible (including the Torah) try the 1880 book, "The Old Paths, or the Talmud Tested by Scripture" by Alexander McCaul. I recommend that book highly for its rigor and careful investigation of the facts. Truly a forgotten gem.

And of course, the overall Christian perspective on this subject is best represented by the Bible itself. I have to say, you'd be surprised how few people have really taken the time to dig deep there compared to those who only scratch the surface a little bit but without really connecting the dots, and there's plenty of good insight (historical, moral, etc.) to be found there. While modern Talmudic belief system may not actually be related to the Biblical Jews, it is still definitely an existence among the class of "Judaizing" heresies – making it similar to Hebrew Roots, Christian Zionism, hyper-dispensationalism, and the dual covenant theology of people like Hagee, as well as some even more obscure stuff that's out there – all of which St. Paul and others denounced so strongly in the New Testament. This is of course in addition to its similarities to gnosticism, which is also denounced several places in its own right (see Colossians and 1 John for example). Hope that helps, anon.
