Reimagining the Bible: The Storytelling of the Rabbis by Howard Schwartz
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1,4 MB
Overview: Reimagining the Bible collects a dozen essays by Howard Schwartz. Together the essays present a coherent theory of the way in which each successive phase of Jewish literature has drawn upon and reimagined the previous ones. The book is organized into four sections: The Ancient Models; The Folk Tradition; Mythic Echoes; and Modern Jewish Literature and the Ancient Models. Within these divisions, each of the essays focuses on a specific genre, ranging from Torah and Aggadah to Kabbalah, fairy tales, and the modern Yiddish stories of S.Y. Agnon and Isaac Bashevis Singer.Arguing the important thesis that there is a continuity in Jewish literature which extends from the Biblical era to our own times–a period of over 3,000 years–this collection also serves as a guide to the history of that literature, and to the genres it comprises.
