The Oxford Handbook of the Apocrypha addresses the Old Testament
Apocrypha, known to be important early Jewish texts that have
become deutero-canonical for some Christian churches, non-canonical
for other churches, and that are of lasting cultural significance.
In addition to the place given to the classical literary,
historical, and tradition-historical introductory questions, essays
focus on the major social and theological themes of each individual
book. With contributions from leading scholars from around the
world, the Handbook acts as an authoritative reference work on the
current state of Apocrypha research, and at the same time carves
out future directions of study. This Handbook 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 essays provided here examine
the place of the Apocrypha in the context of Early Judaism, the
relationship between the Apocrypha and texts that came to be
canonized, the relationship between the Apocrypha and the
Septuagint, Qumran, the Pseudepigrapha, and the New Testament, as
well as their reception history in the Western world. Several
chapters address overarching themes, such as genre and historicity,
Jewish practices and beliefs, theology and ethics, gender and the
role of women, and sexual ethics.
