Genesis Rabbah, the earliest rabbinic commentary on Genesis, was
composed in Roman Palestine around the 5th century CE. In this
volume, an international team of scholars explores the literary
formation and textual transmission of this work in late antiquity,
and the historical, cultural, religious, and political contexts
from which it emerged. Some essays study the multi-layered nature
of this text, the relationship of the traditions within the
collection to one another and to other compositions, its redaction,
its manuscript history, and the interpretive strategies it applies
to biblical verses. Other essays explore how the midrash engages
with Greco-Roman literature, competing theological and exegetical
ideas found in contemporary Christian works, and other genres of
Jewish literature. The collection aims to advance scholarly
conversations about the classical rabbinic corpus; midrash;
religions of late antiquity; interactions between Jews, Christians,
and others in the Greco-Roman world; and the reception of Genesis
Rabbah in medieval and modern times.
