Description
Summary:The Oxford Handbook of the Apocrypha offers an overview of the various Apocrypha and relevant topics related to them by presenting updated research on each individual apocryphal text in historical context, from the late Persian and early Hellenistic periods to the early Roman era. The Handbook gives special attention to the place of the Apocrypha in the context of Early Judaism, the relationship between the Apocrypha and texts that came to be canonized, the role of women and female characters, the portrayal of gender and sexuality, the interplay between theology, ethics, and halakha, and the relationships between the Apocrypha and the Septuagint, as well as their reception history in the Western world.
