Abstract:
"This book introduces Christian readers of the Bible to the otherworldy way in which the rabbis of ancient times interpreted sacred texts... Their interpretive insights were based upon immense knowledge of what Christians call the Old Testement. This knowledge they employed to keep the congregations engaged and informed. They may end up doing the same for us if we listen to what they have to teach us." -- Back Cover
