The book A Conceptual Approach to the Mekilta allows the reader to obtain a deeper insight into rabbinic literature. It shows, for example, how rabbinic concepts differ from the ideas of the Bible, and yet that tabbinic concepts always possess biblical antecedents. The conceptual approach also solves a major problem of rabbinic literature - How are the midrashic statements related to each other?

| Opening: |
The Mekilta is a tannaitic Midrash, and it consists of interpretations of extensive portions of the book of Exodus. Lauterbach has pointed out that the Mekilta, unlike other tannaitic Midrashim, contains more haggadic, non-juristic, than halakic, juristic interpretations. This preponderance of Haggadah is to be accounted for, as he says, by the fact that the Book of Exodus ``contains by far more narrative than law.``
