The Targums are interpretative translations of the Hebrew text of
the Bible which originated in Synagogue teaching, where an
interpretation of the Hebrew text had to be given orally for the
benefit of non-Hebrew speaking congregations. Over the centuries, a
loose 'Targum Tradition' began to form and the written Aramaic
Targums can best be understood as crystallisations of the Targum
tradition at different points of time. In the first part of this
book Professor Bowker examines the emergence and development of
Jewish exegesis and the importance of the Targums. Bearing in mind
that Jewish and rabbinic material is being increasingly applied to
problems of Christian origins, he provides a comprehensive
introduction to the subject (referring to the texts and
translations most readily available) with emphasis on recent work
and discoveries. The second part of the book gives actual material
in translation, showing how Jewish exegesis arrived at its
interpretations of Scripture.
