| Summary: | This paper surveys Jewish Bible exegesis in the 'modem period'. It contrasts the impact of Spinoza and Mendelssohn on the Jewish community and traces the post- Enlightenment responses to critical biblical scholarship. Two different kmds of approach can be observed within the Orthodox community, while the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement opened the way to modern academic study with little obvious Jewish content. The creation of the State of Israel has stimulated popular studies of the Bible but also new directions. Recent decades have seen a renaissance of Jewish biblical scholarship in the area of literary studies. |
