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?'
