Mikra and Meaning is a collection of essays by master Bible teacher Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot. Employing the literary-theological method for which he is renowned, Helfgot approaches the biblical text with a unique blend of critical awareness and religious commitment, bringing together peshat and Midrash, historical evidence and archeological findings, classical exegesis and contemporary narrative technique. Unapologetically predicated on the belief that "the Bible speaks in the language of human beings," the essays of this book explore such key episodes as Abraham's iconoclasm, the Exodus from Egypt, Jeremiah's prophecy, and the tragedy of Job, teasing out the profound religious meaning of the timeless word of God.
