This study analyzes mythic narratives, found in the 8th century midrashic text Pirqe de-Rabbi Eliezer (PRE), that were excluded, or 'repressed', from the rabbinic canon, while preserved in the Pseudepigrapha of the Second Temple period. Examples include the role of the Samael (i.e. Satan) in the Garden of Eden, the myth of the Fallen Angels, Elijah as zealot, and Jonah as a Messianic figure. The questions are why these exegetical traditions were excluded, in what context did they resurface, and how did the author have access to these apocryphal texts. The book addresses the assumptions that underlie classic rabbinic literature and later breaches of that exegetical tradition in PRE, while engaging in a study of the genre, dating, and status of PRE as apocalyptic eschatology.

Rachel Adelman, (Ph.D. Hebrew University of Jerusalem 2008) was a post-doctoral fellow in Jewish Studies at the University of Toronto in 2007-2008. She now teaches Bible and Rabbinics at Miami University, Ohio, and also lectures widely abroad.
This book engages in a study of the mid-8th century midrashic text, Pirqe de-Rabbi Eliezer, including a classification of its genre, dating, and its status as apocalyptic eschatology. The author analyses several mythic narratives that were repressed in the rabbinic canon, but found in the Literature of the Second Temple period, only to resurface in this late midrash. Examples include the role of the Samael in the Garden of Eden, the myth of the Fallen Angels, Elijah as zealot, and Jonah as a Messianic figure. In addition, the relationship between myth and praxis is analyzed in terms of the etiological retelling of biblical stories. The book addresses what underlies the assumptions of classic rabbinic literature and later breaches of that exegetical tradition in PRE.
