Midrash in Context: Exegesis in Formative Judaism by Jacob Neusner is a scholarly examination of Jewish biblical interpretation and rabbinic exegesis in the formative period of Judaism (circa 1st–6th centuries CE). This book is the 1988 reprint (published by Scholars Press in Atlanta, GA) of the original book published in 1983 by Fortress Press. Part One of The Foundations of Judaism series, this book explores how midrashic methods shaped the development of rabbinic thought, scriptural commentary, and Jewish religious identity. Neusner analyzes the historical, cultural, and theological context of midrash, tracing its role in interpreting the Mishnah and early rabbinic texts and its influence on later Talmudic traditions. Essential for students, scholars, and researchers in Jewish studies, biblical studies, theology, and religious history, this work combines critical scholarship with historical insight to illuminate the intellectual and spiritual foundations of Judaism.
