Knygos aprašymas

Product Description Midrash is the oldest known form of Bible interpretation. It was the means by which the early teachers of Judaism made the Bible intelligible to their congregants in the ancient synagogues of the Holy Land, and relevant to their daily lives. To the modern reader, however, their approach to the Bible appears to be haphazard, without any regard for its plain meaning as we understand it today. How then did the rabbis understand the Bible, and what did they perceive it to be? These, as well as other questions, are answered in the book. Review "In sum, when read for its learning and provocative thesis, Jacob's book opens and reopens topics of research in several areas of midrashic studies." Michael Fishbane, The Journal of Religion Book Description This book represents a systematic attempt to establish patterns and traditions of interpretation in early rabbinic Bible exegesis. It offers a fresh approach to the perennial problem of the rabbis' awareness of plain meaning, and of the significance which they attached to it, and makes a notable contribution to text analysis.
