From Midrash to Rashi to Contemporary Narrative Exegesis (R. Alter, M. Sternberg, et al.): Continuity in Jewish Biblical Reading
This chapter discusses continuity in Jewish biblical reading. Most biblical interpretations and literature are influenced by the works of Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig, particularly the way biblical narrative associates a set of catchwords to the unfolding of the plot. One such example is The King Through Ironic Eyes: Biblical Narrative and the Literary Reading Process by Menakhem Perry and Meir Sternberg, which stirred up protest but engaged biblical exegesis in a new chapter of its history. This literature is a verse-by-verse analysis of the story of David and Bathsheba in the book of Samuel.
Keywords: Jewish biblical reading, biblical interpretations, exegesis, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, Menakhem Perry, Meir Sternberg
