In Midrash and Theory, David Stern presents an approach to
midrashic literature that is responsible and responsive to the
principles of Contemporary theory.
As midrash -- the literature of classical Jewish Scriptural
interpretation -- has undergone a revival in the larger Jewish
community, the midrashic imagination has shown itself capable of
exercising a powerful influence and hold on a new type of
contemporary Jewish writing. Stern examines this phenomenon from
the perspective of the cultural relevance of midrash and its
connection to its original historical and literary contexts. Stern
also explores the impact of modern literary theory on midrashic
studies, and the resultant changes on the focus, the methods, and
the intellectual assumptions of this field. By exploring this
linkage, Stern provides not only an introduction to the midrashic
tradition, but a fascinating insight into the impact of
contemporary theory on an entire field of study.
