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;
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,
over a period of more than 3,000 years, this collection also serves
as a guide to the history of that literature, and to the genres it
comprises.
