James Kugel's The Bible As It Was (1997) has been welcomed with universal praise. Here now is the full scholarly edition of this wonderfully rich and illuminating work, expanding the author's findings into an incomparable reference work.Focusing on two dozen core stories in the Pentateuchfrom the Creation and Tree of Knowledge through the Exodus from Egypt and journey to the Promised LandJames Kugel shows us how the earliest interpreters of the scriptures radically transformed the Bible and made it into the book that has come down to us today. Kugel explains how and why the writers of this formative age of interpretationroughly 200 B.C.E. to 150 C.E.assumed such a significant role. Mining their writingsincluding the Dead Sea Scrolls, works of Philo and Josephus and letters of the Apostle Paul, and writings of the Apostolic Fathers and the rabbinic Sageshe quotes for us the seminal passages that uncover this crucial interpretive process.For this fullscale reference work Kugel has added a substantial treasury of sources and passages for each of the 24 Bible stories. It will serve as a unique guide and sourcebook for biblical interpretation.
