Opis

This analysis of the phenomenon of textual analysis in ancient Israel was first published in hardback in 1985 and is updated with new material in appendices. It explores the tradition of exegesis prior to the development of biblical interpretation in early classical Judaism and the earliest Christian communities, and studies four main categories of exegesis: scribal, legal, aggadic and mantological.

Recenzje

A review of the 1985 issue; 'It is a pleasure to review a book which reveals so clearly years of intense research and hard reflection. Prof. Fishbane's carefully structured book i s packed with such detailed exegesis and close argument that only the serious reader can begin to tap its richness; however, the rewards are great for anyone willing to expend the energy.'
