This 3-volume series is an introduction to the
world of the Aggadah and the Sages. The Sages cloaked
their ideas in literary trappings – Midrashim
(commentaries), stories, allegories, and proverbs. The series presents a
literary analysis and focuses on the characteristics of each Aggadah type to offer a broad perspective of the world
of the Aggadah, the ideas of the Sages, and the
literary methods they employed.
