Fourth Maccabees is a superbly craft ed oration that presents a
case for the Jewish way of life couched almost entirely in terms of
Greek ethical ideals. Using an expansion upon previous scriptural
narratives as an opportunity for philosophical exposition, its
author delights in the Torah, the Law of Moses, as the divinely
given path to becoming our best selves now. Moreover, drawing upon
Greek logic tradition, he develops an elaborate rationalisation of
that law based upon the promise of eternal life with God. In this
collection of essays spanning two decades of study, David deSilva
examines the formative training that produced such an author, the
rhetorical craft present in his work, and the author's creative use
of both Jewish and Greek literary resources. Finally, he
demonstrates the book's enduring message and legacy in the
Christian church, from theological influence on Origen to textual
relations within Codex Sinaiticus.
