| Summary: | The article focuses on the common practice of using the imagination to fill gaps in biblical stories. It cites the story of travelers from the east, visiting the Christ-child to offer worship and precious gifts as an example of concise storytelling. It also mentions the tradition of Midrash, in which rabbis expand texts from the bible to teach the principles of religion to an audience more comfortable with stories than with dry lists of laws and regulations. |
