The Twice Told Tale – A Poetics of the Exegetical Narrative in Rabbinic Midrash
A foundational study in the field of Midrash and rabbinic narrative, this book explores how the sages of Late Antiquity transformed terse biblical texts into expansive, imaginative, and dramatic stories. Joshua Levinson offers a literary and theoretical analysis of rabbinic exegetical storytelling, engaging with contemporary narrative theory and Jewish hermeneutics.

Published simultaneously in Hebrew (הסיפור שלא סופר) and English editions.

hardcover, good condition. A must-have for scholars and readers of rabbinics, biblical interpretation, Jewish literature, and narrative theory.
