Have you ever been puzzled by contradictions in the Bible? Or wondered why there are four Gospels, three sets of Ten Commandments, or two creation stories at the beginning of Genesis? Beginning with the first pages of Genesis, the Bible tells most of its stories through multiple versions, which contain both similarities and disagreements. The inherent arguments in Scripture did not seem to bother the Jewish faith. A practice called midrash developed in Judaism sometime before the days of Jesus. Rabbis and scholars sparred over opposing passages, developed theological arguments, and filled gaps in biblical stories with their own understandings. This book will use the threefold prayer of St. John of the Cross to allow the divergent voices in Scripture to speak and practice midrash with each other, enabling the reader to join the conversation. The contradictions and arguments have a divine purpose. Not only did they prompt the Bible’s evolution over hundreds of years, but have enabled it to remain a living word for thousands of years. This pluralism in the Bible is good news for the faithful living in a multi-cultural, pluralistic age.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Dan Bellm's third book of poems takes as its starting point the Jewish practice of studying weekly portions of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, in an annual cycle. Working in the midrashic tradition--imaginatively explaining or expanding a Biblical text, often well beyond its literal meaning--the poems offer meditations on faith, doubt, yearning, family ties, love and loss, and the age-old roots of modern-day war. In PRACTICE, we see a poet of extraordinary range and formal versatility, whose sonnets, villanelles, prose poems, and lyric inventions engage both the imagination and the heart. These poems are at once accessible and complex, deeply personal and profoundly universal. "Reading Dan Bellm's poems, I think: This is blessing. I think of Auden saying, 'In the deserts of the heart / Let the healing fountain start.' I am in awe of how Bellm's poems perform a dance with and against Holy Scripture. And I keep coming back to his lines about 'the way the body addresses the soul / lending it shape / lending it comfort and sorrow.' PRACTICE is like a long prayer of wonder, gratitude, pain and loss and tenderness."--Alicia Ostriker "Something happened to Dan Bellm in this third book that I believe will propel him most deservingly as one of the foremost poets of his generation. Here, speaking the language of the prophets, revising it in a way that is both humble and heartbreakingly playful...Bellm achieves a quiet grandeur that casts a spell and does not let me be. I love PRACTICE as a book-long sequence of parables, prayers, elegies, and incantations that are traditional and yet utterly contemporary. In assembling this formal collection, Bellm teaches us: We are living in Biblical times."--Ilya Kaminsky

Midrash is a word which denoted the ancient Jewish art of interpretation. The word drash suggests the way human beings can elicit truth from bygone thought. Midrash derives new truth from reading and thinking about the bible. Midrash brings new thoughts, new truths out on the at which is thought to be worn or just old. In the ancient art the working of Midrash makes the Bible as well as any area of thought become unique and explained in modern terms. Midrash is both an expression of old truths in a new manner and an invention of new explanations of old thoughts. It is exciting in discovering and unique in explaining.
