In an ongoing effort to shed new light on early Judeo-Christian works and the environments that shape them, The Jewish and Christian Text Series excels at making both new and established voices available to all readers. Check out these two important texts, now offered for the first time as new in paperback titles!
Jewish and Christian Text Series: This series focuses on early Jewish and Christian texts and their formative contexts; it also includes sourcebooks that help clarify the ancient world.
Apocalyptic Interpretation of the Bible
This book presents a synthesis of Gerbern Oegema's extensive research on apocalypticism and Biblical interpretation. Oegema works with the hypothesis that apocalypticism was a major current and mindset from the beginning of the Second Temple period, through Enochic literature, the Qumran Scrolls and the New Testament into Late Antiquity, shaping many inner-Jewish traditions and those emerging from Early Judaism, namely the Early Church and Rabbinic Judaism.
Gerbern Oegema will chair the 2014 Enoch Seminar in Montreal, running May 20-23
The Son of Man in the Parables of Enoch and in Matthew
This book examines all the relevant passages containing the term "Son of Man" in both Matthew and the Parables of Enoch. Depictions of the Son of Man in the Gospel of Matthew and in the Parables of Enoch (Par. En.) raise questions about their relationship. The meaning and origin of the term "Son of Man" are discussed, as well as the possible influence of Par. En. on Matthew. Literary, Redaction, Sociological and Narrative criticisms are employed.
