| Summary: | This book sets out to discuss the present-day theological relevance of the non-canonical writings for the synagogue, the church, and society as a whole. This material constitutes texts that originated 300 bce to 200 ce, that are Jewish or Christian, and that are not included in the canons of either classical Christianity or rabbinic Judaism: the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha, the non-biblical writings found in Qumran, and the books of Philo and Josephus., Chapter 1 contains a brief history of research on Early Judaism. Oegema aims to clarify (1) the exact achievements of research in the area of Early Judaism, (2) the methods that have been used, and (3) how the results have been made relevant for biblical, classical, and Jewish Studies. |
