Jewish and early Christian authors discussed Abraham in numerous
and diverse ways, adapting his Old Testament narratives and using
Abrahamic imagery in their works. However, while some areas of
study in Abrahamic texts have received much scholarly attention,
other areas remain nearly untouched. Beginning with a perspective
on how Abraham was used within Jewish literature, this collection
of essays follows the impact of Abraham across biblical
texts-including Pseudigraphic and Apocryphal texts - into early
Greek, Latin and Gnostic literature. These essays build upon
existing Abraham scholarship, by discussing Abraham in less
explored areas such as rewritten scripture, Philo of Alexandria,
Josephus, the Apostolic Fathers and contemporary Greek and Latin
authors. Through the presentation of a more thorough outline of the
impact of the figure and stories of Abraham, the contributors to
this volume create a concise and complete idea of how his narrative
was employed throughout the centuries, and how ancient authors
adopted and adapted received traditions.
