Explanation of A Midrash Form

In Judaism, a Midrash is a form of poetry, that mimics Biblical Styles, and uses it to interpret scripture. It goes deeper, and creatively uses the material, to form deeper understandings of the scripture. However, a Midrash is not scripture. It's rather, a Formative Thought, using the Bible's style and imagery to interpret it.

I have adopted the style for my own purposes, to study the Bible and form a Christian version of the form. As a result, I am pleased with it, as it has deepened my faith and understanding of all scripture.
