The Challenge of Received Tradition: Dilemmas of Interpretation in Radak's Biblical Commentaries
Grunhaus, Naomi (Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies, Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies, Yeshiva University)
This book analyzes the consistent ways Radak (R. David Kimhi, c. 1160-1232) juxtaposes plain, contextual exegesis (peshat) within his biblical commentaries alongside ancient modes of rabbinic interpretation (derash). In addition, the book explores his criteria for challenging rabbinic teachings, both in narrative and legal contexts.
