This volume contains a selection of papers that were presented in the sessions of the first two years of the Society of Biblical Literature Midrash Consultation. It demonstrates innovative scholarly approaches to midrashic texts and hermeneutic reflections on the similarities and differences between the interpretations of the Bible. The first session (Toronto, 2002) of the midrash program unit presented an introduction to midrash and the exploration of the limits of midrash. The second year (Atlanta, 2003) dealt with the question 'Where do we stand in midrashic text editions and translations?'

First Came Marriage

Ritual and historical perspectives each provide only a partial view of early Jewish weddings. Combining these approaches allows for a new look at practices rejected or highlighted by early rabbis and their successors, and First Came Marriage: The Rabbinic Appropriation of Early Jewish Wedding Ritual investigates the process by which early Jews married and the various moves they used to minimize, elaborate or codify these practices.
