What is Wright's purpose?
- How and why did you choose to study Tanach academically? I got hooked on the Bible when I was living in Germany in 2000. I happened to be in Göttingen (Germany), a renowned center for the study of the Altes Testament (the German term for Old Testament/Hebrew Bible).
- Which Bible scholars or scholarly works have had the most influence on you? First and foremost, Reinhard Kratz. From the start I was in awe of his ability to get at the heart of a problem and, above all, to read a text with extraordinary nuance.
- How often do you think of or come across new ideas about Tanach? Can you briefly share an example of a new idea that recently caught your attention? Genuinely new ideas are rare, and they’re usually seriously flawed.
- Do you use traditional commentaries/meforshim, and if so, which do you find most useful and why? If not, why not? I rarely spend much time on a text without examining the Mikraot Gedolot or doing a search on the Bar Ilan database.
