Its primary focus is on Midrash and midrashic creativity, including the entire range of nonlegal interpretations of the Bible. Considering Midrash as a literary and cultural form, the book explores aspects of classical Midrash from various angles including mythmaking and parables. The relationship between this exoteric mode and more esoteric forms in late antiquity is also examined. This work also focuses on some of the major genres of medieval biblical exegesis: plain sense, allegory, and mystical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fishbane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791415228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791415221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs","brand":"Michael Fishbane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087477424383,"sku":"9780791415221","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7254ca7-218c-4f07-9dee-b1e9f32826ef.jpg?v=1753850003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-midrashic-imagination-michael-fishbane-9780791415221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
