Reading Scripture with the Rabbis

Más información sobre el libro

The anthology explores the interpretations of the ancient Israelite scriptures by classical rabbis from the first seven centuries CE, focusing on their unique readings of the Five Books of Moses. Each Midrash compilation systematically analyzes a specific book, revealing the deeper messages derived by the Rabbinical sages rather than merely paraphrasing the text. The work includes significant Rabbinic exegeses such as Genesis Rabbah, Mekhilta, and Sifré, providing insight into the formative age of Judaism and the evolution of scriptural understanding.
