Beschreibung:
Karin Hedner Zetterholm is Research Fellow at the Swedish Research Council and active at the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies at Lund University. She is the author of numerous articles on Judaism and Jewish biblical interpretation and of Portrait of a Villain: Laban the Aramean in Rabbinic Literature (2002).
Although Jewish tradition gives tremendous importance to the Hebrew Bible, from the beginning Jewish interpretation of those scriptures has been practiced with remarkable freedom. Karin Hedner Zetterholm offers a clear and concise introduction to the legal, theological, and historical presuppositions that shaped the dominant stream of rabbinic interpretation, including Mishnah, Talmud, and Midrashim, discussing specific examples of different interpretive methods. She then explores the contours of Jewish biblical interpretation evident in the New Testament and the legacy of ancient traditions in the way different Jewish movements read the Bible today. Students of the history of biblical interpretation and of Judaism will find this an important and engaging resource.
