The article on [[Christian exegesis]] should have a link to [[Midrash]] and vice versa. --<span style="margin-top: -3px;">&nbsp;[[Image:50 star flag.png|12px]]</span><span style="position:relative; overflow:hidden; width:88px; height:15px; z-index:2;"> [[User:Deborah]] [[Special:Contributions/Deborah|<font color="gray">(contributions)</font>]] [[User_talk:Deborah|<font color="darkslategray">(talk)</font>]]</span> 17:18, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

The "stub" to the heading [[Christian exegesis]] you started is inadequate on two points. Christian exegesis involves interpreting what are considered the Scriptures. That involves the New Testament equally with the Old Testament. There is exegesis of the The New Testament and exegesis of the Old Testament (Also, much of exegesis is content with finding the surface meaning without any need to get deeper meanings).  Secondly, Deborah, you have excised what I have here in the "Midrash" in "Christian Exgesis" because "material which had post-Christian Jewish texts being interpreted as talking about Jesus, since it logically makes no sense". What is in our Midrash article is not Post-Christian Jewish texts being interpreted as talking about Jesus but, rather, post-New Testament Jewish texts talking about Old Testament passages in a way very suggestive to the way the New Testament sees Jesus. I might add - though the final editing was late (6th cent.), it is thought that material from Genesis Raba goes back to the early "New Testament times" and thus no "far fetch" for comparison.
