Abstract "The present contributions examine different modes of interpretation within early Jewish and Christian texts, ranging from rewriting to commentary. These interpretive approaches co-exist, operating side by side across the early period, rather than conforming to a developmental scheme. In the end, scriptural interpretation is illuminated as a capacious phenomenon, including material from sectarian Halakhah to Valentinian mythology to Rabbinic heresiological discourse." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
General note"The majority of the contributions in the present volume originate from a conference on "Scriptural Interpretation in Judaism and Christianity" held in Leuven in December 2022, jointly organized by Australian Catholic University, KU Leuven and Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin. This was the second event associated with a larger project on "Jews and Christians in the First Three Centuries CE, which began in 2019..." -- See, "Introduction", page [1].
