First published in hardback in August 1985, Professor Fishbane's
book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of
textual analysis in ancient Israel. It explores the rich tradition
of exegesis prior to the development of biblical interpretation in
early classical Judaism and the earliest Christian communities, and
examines four main categories of exegesis: scribal, legal, aggadic,
and mantological. In studying this subject, it emerges that the
Hebrew Bible is not only the foundation document for the exegetical
culture of Judaism and Christianity, but an exegetical work in its
own right. Professor Fishbane, who has added new material in
appendices to this paperback edition, has been awarded three major
prizes for this work: the National Jewish Book Award 1986, the
Biblical Archaeological Society 1986 Publication Award, and the
Kenneth B. Smilen Literary Award.
