Description
God's Echo: Exploring Scripture with Midrash by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, Joan Chittister. The ancient rabbis believed that the Torah was divinely revealed and therefore contained eternal truths and multitudinous hidden meanings. Not a single word in the Bible was considered haphazard or inconsequential. This understanding of how Scripture mystically relates to all of life is the fertile ground from which Midrash emerged. Here, Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso explores how Midrash originated and how it is still practiced today, and offers new translations and interpretations of more than twenty essential, classic midrashic texts.
