Bridging Scholarship and Pedagogy in Jewish Studies
Conference Video:
A Pragmatic Pedagogy of Bible
Presenter: Edward L. Greenstein
Bible scholars have in recent years become more aware of the ways in which any given interpretive strategy shapes and determines the types of meaning that emerge. Using multiple readings of the story of Babel, Greenstein argues that scholars and teachers should self-consciously determine the types of meanings they are seeking, and only then identify the analytic and interpretive techniques that will best produce those results.
