N2  - YA The Jewish tradition of midrash, scholarly interpretation of the Bible, is carried on in a lively, compulsively read able fashion by 37 highly individualistic writers. The books of the Bible are exam ined in the light of contemporary experi ence, ancient scholarship, literary val ue, and divine revelation. The essays are in turn angry, joyous, sad, questioning, and humorous. Young people of any faith will gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Bible. At the root of every essay, and of the book itself, is the absolute and passionate cer tainty that everything in life matters, a certainty sought by many of today's youth
