Through such means and methods, the written words of Hebrew Scripture have been extended since antiquity and given new voices for new times. In this lucid and often poetic book, Michael Fishbane delineates the connections between biblical interpretation and Jewish religious thought.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Michael Fishbane</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Old Testament</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Spiritual life -- Judaism</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>New Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc -- Jewish</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">296.3</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M621-F53</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0674274628</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/10/29/_87878938_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/10/29/_87878938_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070814.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
