That system, comprised by active category formations, turns facts into knowledge and knowledge into propositions of a theological character. The structure embodies the paradigm that solves new problems. So, the Rabbinic Midrash exegesis pertaining to theological matters proves coherent. Rabbinic Midrash follows a cogent theological program and sets forth an orderly theological construction. This work defines the principal parts of the theological system that animated the Rabbinic sages encounter with Scripture as embodied in the Rabbinic Midrash; and shows how these parts form a theological system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis splendid book is the fruit of many years of analyzing individual rabbinic documents....The author offers insightful analyses based upon a sound methodology that is well defined and readily accessible to the reader. The Theological Foundations of Rabbinic Midrash is an indispensable work of higher criticism and scholarship for all interested in the foundational system of rabbinic thought and theology. * Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal Of Jewish Studies, Vol. 26, No. 1 (2007) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 1.
