Talk:Midrash

Christian can see Jesus in the Aqeda if anything implies Jesus is derived from stories in the Old Testament, also since midrash is a jewish concept, Christians see Jesus in the Aqeda should belong under a seperate article like Christian Exegesis, since midrash is a jewish concept --  User:Deborah (contributions) (talk) 10:25, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

I don't know, Deborah. When I think of Christian exegesis, I think of how Chritians interprete particular passages of the Old Testament, like Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9, etc. I don't think there is nowadays a distinctly Christian way of exgesis other that literary analysis and related ways that other types of literature are exegeted. (In older periods there was Alexandrian way and Antiochian way, though} There are, of course, distinctly Jewish ways of exegeting. If we had something under Christian Exegesis, it would be good to link there. I think all in all, it's O;K. to have the part in question under "Midrash" as I think the term is known to kowledgeable Christians and, of course, to many Jews - and the Midrashic literature does give a different slant on the O.T. than is gotten just from the Biblical textBertSchlossberg 11:20, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Christians do not use the word midrash, the term is exclusively a Jewish term, Christian Exegesis do not always have to claim verses are prophetic, I think the section should be part of an article on christian exegesis --  User:Deborah (contributions) (talk) 11:28, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
