Halivni, David Weiss
in His Examination Of The History Of Jewish Exegesis Of The Bible And Talmud, Halivni Investigates The Tension That Has Often Existed Between The Plain Sense Of The Divine Text (peshat) And Its Creative, Rabbinic Interpretation (derash). He Also Explores The Differences Between The Religious Right, Which Denies That Judaism Has A History, And The Religious Left, Which Claims That History Is All That Judaism Has.
