		Still, Visotzky, a prominent rabbi, sees goodness coming out of the Bible if readers are willing to accept it as a challenge to their own moral imagination and not simply as an inspirational story.
		True, Visotzky offends traditionalist sensibilities by the way he--a sixties liberal and a feminist--puts modern social theorists above God in his reading of the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and the other flawed mortals who populate the middle chapters of Genesis, on which he focuses.
		Rabbi Visotzky employs a tension between derash (tje implicit text and exegeses in light of the current community) and peshat (the explicit simple story in its context).

	Mayim Reviews
		There are many different approaches to reading the Bible ("the Book"), and Visotzky splits this entertaining and highly-accessible text between three of them, leaping from one to the other as he sees fit.
		Then we turn to the riches of the Jewish Midrashic tradition (which is Visotzky's specialism) and see what they made of these incongruities - it is refreshingly surprising to see the weird, wonderful and wacky ideas they came up with, often combined with a devotional or ethical message.
		Lastly, we focus our criticism on these same rabbis, trying to understand what motivated them and what they were really trying to say.
