Course #1Innovation and Tradition in the Interpretation of Torah: Pshat and Drash

| This class will explore classical, medieval, and modern Jewish sources surrounding the tension between freedom of interpretation
and fealty to received traditions in understanding the words of the Torah. We will examine this fascinating subject both as it pertains
to narrat ive and halakhic portions of the text. We will also compare and contrast this phenomenon to trends in the Christian and
Muslim exegetical traditions.
