| Summary: | The intention of this essay is to define and introduce the empirical study of midrash by providing a survey of methodological discussions of midrash as a genre, where the study has come from and some of the new approaches. Judging by the number of introductions and monographs that are still being produced on the topic as a whole, it is obvious that midrashic studies are alive and well. The article also wishes to point out that a basic knowledge of midrash is necessary for students who enter upon any field of Judaism, from Rabbinics to Qumran and the Biblical text. |
