Between the Lines of the Bible: Genesis: Recapturing the Full Meaning of the Biblical Text

Description

The study of Tanakh has always been a staple of Jewish life. The new windows which have opened up in the last century into the rooms of academia—anthropology, archeology, philology, and literary analysis, to name a few—have given new perspectives to traditional study with greater depth and insight. In this rich volume, Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom presents 26 essays on the book of Genesis that demonstrate the methodology through which traditional study meets academic rigor, and new insights into the meaning of the text and its import come to light.
