Over the generations, biblical interpretation has shaped not only our understanding of the Book of Books but also our view of Judaism and its values. The commentator is intended for the role of mediation between the Bible and the reader and also for the spiritual role of clarifying faith and existential questions that arise from Scripture. Biblical commentators are aware of the reality of their times, and seek in the interpretation of the Torah answers to their questions and those of their contemporaries.

The Commentaries on the Bible by Dr. Abigail Rock is a first-of-its-kind book that traces the various methods of the great commentators of the Bible for their generations - from the translation of Onkelos, through medieval commentators, such as Rashi, Ibn Ezra and Ramban, to commentators of recent generations, such as Malbim, Netziv, and more. Browse through their biographies and commentaries on the Bible, while the book illuminates the depth of vision and the bases of their thinking.
 In this manner there is an opportunity for each reader to understand the depths of the path of interpretation and to renew him and herself learning the word of God.
