JWST 011R - (HP) Judaic Perspectives on the Hebrew Bible

Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
An examination of Jewish Biblical interpretation from antiquity to the present with special focus on continuities and contrasts in exegetical method. Starting with an examination of “inner biblical exegesis” the course proceeds to scrutinize major forms of Jewish biblical interpretation from the period of the great Rabbinic sages in late antiquity, to Eastern centers of Medieval Jewish scholarship (e.g., Babylon, Islamic Spain), to the emergence of Western European forms of interpretation in the Renaissance to the period of Jewish Enlightenment, to the present.
