Things Revealed: Studies in Early Jewish and Christian Literature in Honor of Michael E. Stone
Michael E. Stone, Esther G. Chazon, David Satran, Ruth Clements
This
rich collection of articles dedicated to Michael E. Stone by his
colleagues and students honors his contributions to the study of Judaism
and Christianity. Many of the articles discuss apocryphal and
pseudepigraphical works stemming from Jewish or Christian authors and
transmitted primarily but not exclusively by Christian scribes.
Particularly well-represented are the earliest books of 1 Enoch and the
Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. A number of articles introduce
newly available material from the Dead Sea Scrolls while others deal
with Philo, Hellenistic Judaism, and early Christianity. Issues of
biblical interpretation, tradition-history, literary transmission, and
social context figure prominently. This book is a companion to the study
of apocrypha, pseudepigrapha, Dead Sea Scrolls, early Judaism, and
early Christianity.
