Patai has done some interesting work in using folklore in interpretation of scripture - things as simple as how a parables used? what are the connotations of the sea? ... This Encyclopedia would be a major step forward for resources to understand the Jewish context of Hebrew scripture.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
