Abstract
Over the last couple of decades an increasing number of publications saw the light of day on the subject of the Bible. While diverse views were aired in these studies, they all had one point in common: they all credited me with coining the idiom in Scripture and Tradition in Judaism in 1961 ( SpT ). The overarching aim of the author's research project was to establish that haggadic exegesis, that is to say the study of the narrative and doctrinal elements in Bible interpretation, could be approached historically. The view current up to the middle of the twentieth century was that, while halakhah or legal exegesis by definition is a historical phenomenon, and is handed down by more or less reliably named and dated authorities, the nature and purpose of the haggadah could less easily fit into an historical perspective. Keywords: Bible interpretation; haggadic exegesis; Rewritten Bible; Scripture and Tradition in Judaism
