This collection of essays is an attempt to capture the drama of the
encounter, of the 'facing' of Levinas and the biblical text. It
seeks to link Jewish experience and Levinasian themes such as
responsibility, substitution, hospitality, suffering and
forgiveness, and at the same time make the biblical text accessible
in a new way. The book offers new insights on the opening up of
Levinas's thought and biblical stories to one another; it considers
the ways in which Levinas can open up the biblical text to
requestioning, and how the biblical text can inform our reading of
Levinas. Setting up in dialogue the heteronomic texts - the
narrative texts of the bible and Levinas's philosophical texts -
allows an enforced and renewed understanding of both. The
examination of these issues is pursued from diverse perspectives
and disciplines, probing the role biblical figures play in
Levinas's thought and the manner by which to approach them. Do the
biblical allusions serve in Levinas's thought merely as a
rhetorical and literary device, as illustrations of his ideas, or
perhaps they have a deeper philosophical meaning, which contributes
to his project in general? Do the references to biblical figures
work in Levinas's philosophy in a way that other literary figures
are incapable of, and how do these references comply with his
conflicted attitude towards literature?
