"Volume I, anthologizing Sifra to Leviticus, Sifré to Numbers, and Sifré to Deuteronomy, shows how sequential exegesis is carried on.  Volume II, treating Genesis Rabbah, Leviticus Rabbah, and Pesiqta deRab Kahana, places on display a set of propositional compositions.  Volume III, devoted to Lamentations Rabbati, Song of Songs Rabbah, Esther Rabbah I, and Ruth Rabbah, illustrates how sequential exegesis is so formulated as to demonstrate a cogent theological platform."--Vol. I, preface.
