Reviews
"Written by some of the most outstanding scholars of Jewish Studies, this book sheds light on the dominant cognitive mode of Judaism. Through the Midrashic process Jewish scholars molded Jewish consciousness, responded to historical crises, created legal and theological norms, and shaped Jewish culture. The book offers a sophisticated analysis of textuality in Judaism: the interpretation of sacred texts explains both the traditionalist nature of Judaism as well as its elasticity. Going beyond contemporary literary approaches to Midrash, these essays offer a very balanced analysis of the dialectical interplay between textual interpretation and historical context. It is an important collection that could become standard reference work in the field of Jewish Studies." -- Hava Tirosh-Rothschild, Indiana University

Synopsis
This innovative and original book examines the broad range of Jewish interpretation from antiquity through the medieval and renaissance periods. Its primary focus is on Midrash and midrashic creativity, including the entire range of nonlegal interpretations of the Bible. Considering Midrash as a literary and cultural form, the book explores aspects of classical Midrash from various angles including mythmaking and parables. The relationship between this exoteric mode and more esoteric forms in late antiquity is also examined. This work also focuses on some of the major genres of medieval biblical exegesis: plain sense, allegory, and mystical.

    Book Mob is a very dedicated seller! Their prices are very fair and the shipping costs are reasonable. The quality of the book I purchase was excellent and as described, in fact it looked like new! It arrived in great condition due to careful packaging in a padded envelope. Not many booksellers take the time to do that. I would not hesitate to purchase from Book Mob again due to being so careful with their treasures! Thank you Book Mob for a great eBay experience!

    Item was listed as Used: Like New, but actually came shrinkwrapped, so it was basically brand new. One disc had come loose during shipping, but this happens sometimes and isn't necessarily the fault of the seller. I asked for a photo of the item and the seller happily obliged and I got a good deal on this!
