Epes the Southerner
Epes the Southerner (translit: "Efes ha-Daromi") or Rabbi Epes, was a scholar of the 3rd century, secretary to the patriarch Judah haNasi, and one of the last tannaim.
After Judah's death, while Efes conducted a college in southern Judea, on account of which he was called "Efes (in Yerushalmi, "Pas") Daromi", he was made head of the academy at Sepphoris, although the dying patriarch had ordered the appointment of Hanina b. Hama to that position.
Hanina refused to supersede Efes, who was his senior by two years and a half.
Hoshaiah Rabbah was one of his disciples, and reported in his name several aggadic remarks, among them one bearing on Isaiah 60:3: "Nations shall walk by thy light,"
from which he argues that Jerusalem will in the future become a torch by the light of which people will walk.
Hoshaiah also reported a civil law in Efes' name, and Shimon ben Lakish asked him a question of halacha.
Efes did not survive Judah haNasi by many years.
He was succeeded by Hanina ben Hama.
Meir Sternberg
Meir Sternberg is an Israeli literary critic and biblical scholar.
He is Artzt Professor of Poetics and Comparative Literature at Tel Aviv University.
Along with Robert Alter and Adele Berlin, Sternberg is one of the most prominent practitioners of a literary approach to the Bible.
Sternberg is best known for his 1985 book" The Poetics of Biblical Narrative".
Sternberg argues that the Bible is a" foolproof composition": any reader who reads the Bible in" good faith" will get the point of what is written.
He believes the Bible is written by an omniscient narrator, who has had things revealed to him by an omniscient God.
Sternberg also makes much of" gaps" in narration, in which the narrator withholds truth in order to generate ambiguity.
Finally, he argues that the biblical authors were concerned with three central elements in their narratives: aesthetics, history, and ideology.
Jeffrey Staley suggests that, along with Robert Alter, Adele Berlin, and Shimon Bar- Efrat, Sternberg is a master of" leading the reader through the sudden twists and sharp turns, the steep ridges and dizzying drop- offs that make up the art of ancient Hebrew characterization."
Sternberg was the editor of the academic journal" Poetics Today" from 1994 to 2016.
He was awarded the Israel Prize in 1996, for his contributions to literary theory.
