This is a literary and theological study of the Biblical
Antiquities of Pseudo-Philo--a long, well-written reinterpretation
of the Hebrew Bible written by a Palestinian Jew of the first
century C.E. Using the methodologies of redaction and literary
criticism, Murphy provides an analysis of the whole of the Biblical
Antiquities. After a chapter-by-chapter analysis, Murphy addresses
several topics more generally--major characters, major themes, and
the historical context of the work. Full concordances to the Latin
text are provided to assist future research on Pseudo-Philo. This
book will prove an important resource for students of Jewish
interpretation of the Bible at the end of the Second Temple period.
It also sheds light on Jewish thought of the period regarding
covenant, leadership in Israel, women in Israel, relations with
Gentiles, divine providence, divine retribution, eschatology, and
many other subjects. Furnishing a broad interpretive context for
future work on the Biblical Antiquities, this study gives students
of the Bible access to an important literary and religious product
of first-century Judaism.
