Jewish scholars developed "Textual Reasoning" as a breakthrough methodology that charts a middle path between pure rationalism and fundamentalist readings of sacred texts. This interpretive approach draws on classical Jewish spirituality's unique capacity to apply rigorous logic while preserving mystical depth. Through analysis of Genesis 38:1—the opening of the Judah and Tamar narrative—the methodology reveals how Torah functions as an interconnected web requiring multi-layered reading practices akin to hypertext navigation. Tracing interpretive links through Midrash Rabbah and Talmudic sources (tractates Sanhedrin and Sotah), the research demonstrates how single verses generate vast commentarial networks that transform surface narratives into profound explorations of cosmic justice, theodicy, and redemption. By juxtaposing biblical verses with rabbinic commentary and medieval mystical texts, textual reasoning creates new interpretive possibilities while remaining anchored in traditional Jewish hermeneutics. The analysis uncovers structural themes of predestination, cosmic balance, and the consequences of oppression embedded within the interpretive tradition, offering a model for contemporary Jewish scholarship that maintains intellectual rigor while preserving spiritual engagement with sacred texts.
