Book III of the Sibylline Oracles and its Social Setting
This
volume contains a thorough study of the third book of the Sibylline
Oracles. This Jewish work was written in the Roman province of Asia
sometime between 80 and 40 BCE. It offers insights into the political
views of the author and his perception of the relation between Jews and
non-Jews, especially in the field of religion and ethics. The present
study consists of three parts: 1. introductory questions; 2. a literary
analysis of the book, translation, and commentary; 3. the social setting
of the book. It aims to further the scholarly use of the third
Sibylline book and to improve our knowledge of early Judaism in its
Graeco-Roman environment.
