Publisher's Description

The long-awaited companion to volume 1 of Old Testament Pseudepigrapha: More Noncanonical Scriptures
 
Edited by James Davila and Richard Bauckham, this is the second volume in a series focusing on Old Testament pseudepigrapha—ancient texts that are affiliated in some way with the Old Testament but are not included in any of the major biblical canons.
 
With contributions from twenty-three scholars, this collection introduces readers to little-known texts, with much of the material here translated into English for the first time. The texts encompass a variety of genres including apocalypses, prose narratives, magical and divinatory tractates, prophecies, and synagogue sermons. In their subject matter, the texts focus on diverse biblical characters and events ranging from Adam and the creation story to the messiah and the final judgment.
 
Complementing and building on the work of Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, edited by James Charlesworth, and Old Testament Pseudepigrapha: More Noncanonical Scriptures, volume 1, edited by Richard Bauckham, James R. Davila, and Alex Panayotov, this book ranks among the most important publications in biblical studies in recent decades.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for volume 1:
 
"A tremendously significant volume. . . . Will undoubtedly be an essential reference work for years to come."
Religious Studies Review
 
"This is a monumental work. . . . One cannot help but place this volume alongside that of Charlesworth and others to enrich our understanding of these texts and the communities that preserved them."
Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
 
"Graced with fresh translations and fine scholarly notations, this volume surely will become a standard work. Essential."
Choice (American Library Association)
 
"The first of a two-volume collection that provides introductions to and annotated English translations of texts related to various books of the Hebrew Bible. . . . The editors bring together an impressive array of scholars, who address a long list of mostly forgotten or unknown texts, from an expansive historical range."
Journal of Ancient Judaism
