Description

Key second-temple texts with introductions and notes by an international team of scholars–now to be had in inexpensive softcover bindings.

The writers of the Bible lived in a world filled with many writings. A few of these documents are lost endlessly, but many have been preserved. A part of these extant sources are the Pseudepigrapha. This selection of Jewish and Christian writings make clear early Judaism and Christianity and their doctrines.

This landmark set includes all 65 Pseudepigraphical documents from the intertestamental period that reveal the ongoing development of Judaism and the roots from which the Christian religion took its beliefs. A scholarly authority on each and every text contributes a translation, introduction, and important notes for each and every text. Volume 2 includes expansions of the “Old Testament” legends, wisdom, and philosophical literature; prayers, psalms, and odes; and fragments of lost Judeo-Hellenistic Works.

Contributors include E. Isaac, B.M. Metzger, J.R. Mueller, S.E. Robinson, D.J. Harrington, G.T. Zervos, and plenty of others.

Of enormous value to scholars and students, religious professionals and interested laypeople.
