Midrash Criticism: Introduction and Appraisal

This book is an in-depth introduction and appraisal of midrash criticism, a critical approach applied to Gospel studies. Though midrash criticism utilizes genre criticism, redaction criticism, and historical criticism, it has developed into a separate critical approach with its own unique methodology. This work both introduces and examines this interpretive method. It meets the needs of both the beginning student and the advanced scholar.
