Abstract
Dr. Mordechai Cohen draws upon the richly diverse volume, Interpreting Scriptures in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Cambridge University Press, 2016), to show how the Jewish tradition of Bible interpretation (parshanut ha-miqra) is best understood when we consider how our great commentators, such as Saadia Gaon, Rashi, and Maimonides, met the cultural challenges posed by Muslim and Christian interpretation of scripture.
