In Modern Midrash, Professor Schept combines her knowledge of psychological theory with her extensive reading of Jewish sacred texts to present fresh insights that invigorate a centuries-old scholarly conversation with contemporary feminine sensibilities. In her analysis of Jacob¿s Dream of a ladder, the unconscious mind presents a drama of family tensions and sexuality for Freud, but the psychic energy of transformational change for Jung. Applying the Object-Relations theories of Melanie Klein, Professor Schept presents the Cain and Abel story as a meditation on the good and evil within us all. The Tower of Babel marks the establishment of boundaries between individuals and the emergence of self. A time of reflection and repentance, the High Holidays offer a window into the psychological gradations of forgiveness. In this compilation of eight new and previously published articles, Professor Schept shows how ancient stories, myths, and rituals hold profound meaning that feels familiar and relevant today.
