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?'

Lily Montagu’s Shekhinah

Lily Montagu’s Shekhinah outlines Lily Montagu’s theological writing, particularly her appropriation of the feminine aspect of the divine presence, Shekhinah, and provides a much needed corrective to the androcentric Anglo-Jewish historiography that has ignored, marginalized, and completely erased the founder of the Liberal Jewish movement in England. Luke Devine’s book is vital reading for students of Anglo-Jewry, First-Wave feminism, Jewish feminism, Liberal Judaism, and Jewish mysticism.

The Life of One Chosen by God

Moses is an inspirational prophetic figure in Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious traditions. This book journeys through the Abrahamic faiths and illustrates their respective depictions of the Moses’ stories. In exploring the differences and similarities between the Hebrew Bible, Jewish rabbinical commentaries, Syriac Christian exegesis and the Qur’an, this book seeks for a deeper understanding of the Prophet Moses in the religious history of humanity.
