Another way it can be put, Jewish interpretation puts a lot more of "endogesis" of Scripture, before it produces "exegesis", and that endogesis may be pregnant with allusion, linguistic affinities, cultural allusions and practices, alliteration, and ornamental association. The belief was that God speaks to them presently through all of these things in accord and along with the literally wordings and the meanings of Scripture.

To the modern world, that the Sudducees ought to believe that there is a resurrection because God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, does not seem to follow logically, But Jesus seems to think that that does follow, and that it follows covincingly. If God, the Living God (El Hay, Elohim Hayim) should allow His name to be attached, in Scripture, and on tongue, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, then that is reason enough to see that they must, of necessity, themselves be among the living. And if they be among the living, then the dead shall once again rise.

It is not that, for instance, the "10, 5,3, 2, 1, proofs" given above be convincing for this day and age as it was for the Jewish commentators straddling the first century, but rather that we of this generation, need to see our way of interpreting the New Testament, according to the scientific, and conceptual catagories of the 20th and th 21st centuries, are inadequate for the job. It will help us also to receive Gods voice and nudgings in ways other than the strict logics of our mind, and more in accord with the rich modalities of life all around us.
