The proliferation of literary studies of the Bible, which emphasize the aesthetic qualities of the text, poses a challenge for religious educators. How might we integrate religious issues raised by the text as well as literary form into our teaching about the Bible? Franz Rosenzweig (1886Rosenzweig ( -1929, one of the foremost Jewish theologians of the twentieth century, believed that the religious message of the text comes encased in its literary form. He also came to feel that the Bible itself educates by eliciting questions latent in the reader and by offering unique theological perspectives on those questions. These insights are illustrated in Rosenzweig's close reading of the Balaam narrative. The paper explores the implications of Rosenzweig's orientation for religious education, including such concerns as the relation between the cognitive and the experiential, the problem of indoctrination, religious objectivity and subjectivity, and the "translation" of traditional texts into a language that can address contemporary concerns.

The Book of Genesis reports that “On the sixth day of Creation “God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good” (1:31). The very, so a Talmudic sage taught refers to “death”. We are to share God’s exultant affirmation of His work of creation as culminating in death. For death is intrinsic to the blessings of life. As Buber notes in the epigraph cited above, life is “unspeakably beautiful because death looks over our shoulder”. The seeming paradox—an existential antinomy—inflected the vernacular Yiddish of my late father which was also that of Buber’s youth “the one thing needful” (Luke 10:42); “love is strong as death” (Song of Songs; 8:6).
