This volume seeks to demonstrate, for the first time, that many
Jewish and Christian texts in the ancient world were written as a
direct response to an earlier situation of crisis that affected the
author, or the intended reader. Presented here are texts from both
traditions that were written over many centuries in order to
establish that such crisis management literature was widespread in
the religious and theological literature of ancient times. These
chosen works reveal that all manner of crises could contribute to
the production or the nature of these texts; including persecution,
political factors, religious or theological differences, social
circumstances; as well as internal or external threats. By
understanding this crucial element in the composition of these
texts we are better able to understand the complexity of social,
political and religious forces that gave rise to many ancient
theological texts, and to appreciate the strategies which the
authors used to manage these crises.
