the Bible contains an ongoing series of midrashes, or interpretive retellings, of the one Story God wants us to know and hear. Each biblical author, whether we talk of Moses and the Pentateuch, or the so-called Deuteronomic histories, or the Chronicler, Job, or Ecclesiastes, or the various prophets, or Jesus or Paul or John or James or the author of Hebrews or Peter—each of these authors tells his version of the Story. They tell wiki-stories of the Story; they give midrashes on the previous stories.
