Beholding the tree of life
Book • 2014
Bradley J. Kramer's 'Beholding the Tree of Life' examines the Book of Mormon through rabbinic interpretive lenses, treating it as part of the broader Judeo-Christian scriptural conversation.
Kramer highlights how rabbinic modes of reading—literal, allegorical, homiletical, and mystical—illuminate connections between the Book of Mormon and the Bible.
The book argues that the Book of Mormon functions in many ways like rabbinic midrash, expanding and commenting on biblical motifs and typologies.
It provides close readings of narrative and symbolic elements, showing how Latter-day Saint scripture can be read in continuity with ancient Jewish exegetical practices.
The work is aimed at scholars and readers interested in intertextual, theological, and hermeneutical studies of scripture.
