Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲"A solid resource for scholars of Jewish literature, but it will also be of interest to those who study the New Testament."
The Christian Librarian
"This work exhibits the high literary productivity of the period; highlights the diversity between different Jewish groups; and offers insight into contemporary social, political, and theological currents."
"Other publications present texts from Early Judaism, and still others furnish introductions to them. But this set brings both together by supplying readers with updated introductions and English translations in an accessible manner. Complete glossaries and indices ensure the utility of this welcome contribution."
