For many people the Bible is a dusty old book with little relevance
to their lives. But for Vistozky the Bible is a living entity that
can offer endless insights for its readers if they enter into
dialogue with it in the manner of the ancient rabbis, whose
midrash, or commentary, has accompanied it almost from its
beginning. Focusing on themes in key biblical texts - good and
evil, sexuality, parent-child relations, sibling rivalry, faith,
and creation - Reading the Book demonstrates the ingenuity and
richness of this traditional Jewish approach. It then shows how
readers of any religion can create their own midrashim and develop
living relationships with the text.
