Topics in Rabbinic Judaism: Midrash

Course Level Format
Instructor & Institution
Annette Reed, McMaster University
Course Term & Year
2004
A 2004 course by Annette Reed at McMaster University explores "classical Rabbinic biblical interpretation in its socio-historical, literary, and theological contexts. We will consider the emergence of a distinctively Rabbinic approach to exegesis and the development of literary forms for its expression, while also investigating the place of Torah in the ideology of Rabbinic Judaism and in the evolving self-conception of the Sage."
