Midrashic hermeneutical resources
- Orthodox Jewish:
- Rabbi David Fohrman and team at https://alephbeta.org. The animated videos provide a well-suited introduction to the methodology for both Biblical scholar and school-aged child alike. The podcasts (e.g. A Book Like No Other) and seminar courses (in some cases available only to patron members) are as deep and profound as anything you will find in the academic literature. He also has excellent books available.
- https://mg.alhatorah.org/TanakhLab is a useful tool for intertextual studies
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmudical_hermeneutics
- Patristic:
- The hymns of Ephrem the Syrian often interweave symbols from different parts of Scripture in insightful ways.
- Messianic:
- Otto Gershon resources include The Otto Zone video series
- Protestant Evangelical and/or Reformed:
- James B. Jordan and theological heirs:
- Jordan's Through New Eyes provides a good entry-level introduction to seeing both the world and Scripture through new eyes
- Peter Leithart and crew: https://theopolisinstitute.com
- Mike Bull contributes several interesting/unique perspectives, including his emphasis on the "fractal" nature of the Bible
- Alastair Roberts resources include a chapter-by-chapter audio Biblical commentary
- Greg Beale:
- "Handbook on the New Testament use of the Old Testament" provides interpretive principles with some sample case studies
- His (NIGTC) Commentary on Revelation provides an encyclopedia of literary and theological connections between John's Apocalypse and Tanakh, as well as with other Judaic sources including Midrash, Talmud, Targums, etc.
- "The Temple and the Church's Mission" explores the symbolism of Israel's Temple/Tabernacle and how that applies to the mission (not the architecture!) of the church
- Meredith Kline's "Kingdom Prologue" (especially if packaged together with Beale's "Temple and ... Mission") is, in some ways, a more densely-packed, seminary-level version of Jordan's Through New Eyes (and indeed is cited in Jordan's Bibliography)
- "Forward and Reverse Gematria are Very Different Beasts," a 2024 peer-reviewed research article by Bible Wiki User:Zekeriya, proposes to resolve the 666 gematria/isopsephy problem of Revelation 13:18 using hermeneutical methods (esp. intertextuality) with heavy indebtedness credited to Fohrman and Beale
- BibleProject™ makes use of some midrashic tools (often implicitly), e.g. when talking about intertextual "hyperlinks"
- James B. Jordan and theological heirs:
- (Catholic) Bishop Robert Barron and (Eastern Orthodox) Jonathan Pageau discuss Recognizing Patterns and symbolism in Scripture

- "The work that we're doing here at Aleph Beta in Tanach, there's other people across the globe that are doing similar kinds of work. Some focus in the Gush in Machon Herzog are, but not just in the Gush. I just had a chareidi fellow over here in Jerusalem giving talks to Chevron and to Ponevezh and he stumbled upon this himself. It's in the air. People are going to find it because the age is right for it."
