An ambitious introduction to the Apocrypha that encourages readers
to reimagine what "canon" really means Challenging the way
Christian and non-Christian readers think about the Apocrypha, this
is an ambitious introduction to the deuterocanonical texts of the
Christian Old Testaments. Lawrence Wills introduces these texts in
their original Jewish environment while addressing the very
different roles they had in various Christian canons. Though often
relegated to a lesser role, a sort of "Bible-Lite," these texts
deserve renewed attention, and this book shows how they hold more
interest for both ancient and contemporary communities than
previously thought.
