Description:
Burton L. Visotzky thinks the midrash is the way to read Moses. Midrash, the rabinnic practice he defines as "reading between the lines, inferring what the Bible's characters meant to say or should have said," allows readers to bring "the ethics and social norms of the time of the midrash writer back into the biblical narratives." In his new study of Exodus, The Road to Redemption, Visotzky uses midrash to draw contemporary lessons about faithful leadership and living in community. Those familiar with Bill Moyers's Genesis book and television programs will already know Visotzky's lively, often humorous, methods of biblical interpretation. At a time when our country desperately needs moral leadership and thoughtful new ways of understanding the nature of communities, Visotzky's talents as an interpreter can begin to diagnose, and perhaps even help cure, what ails us. --Michael Joseph Gross
