This title was first published in 2003. The book bearing the title
of 'Zechariah' is, in its present form, an amalgam of oracles and
prophecies stemming from Zechariah himself as well as others. It
became part of Jewish scripture, was revered and valued, and was a
partiuclar favourite of a number of early Christian writers. Often
cited by New Testament writers, this book of one of the most
important of the 'minor prophets' is itself deeply indebted to
earlier Jewish prophetic texts and has been an important resource
for later writers, Jewish and Christian, as they sought to tap
their own 'Biblical' material. The amalgam of oracles and
prophecies presented in the book of Zechariah offers an ideal
thematic focus for the leading scholars in this volume who explore
areas of the Hebrew Bible, post-Biblical Jewish literature, and
early Christian literature and history (in the New Testament and
beyond). The essays examine the book of Zechariah itself as well as
its subsequent interpretation by a number of other writers, Jewish
and Christian. The essays raise important issues in relation to the
influence of biblical texts in subsequent literature and also the
broad area of 'intertextuality'' and the way in which later texts
relate to and use earlier texts in their sacred tradition.

The two-volume work The New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers
offers a comparative study of two collections of early Christian
texts: the New Testament; and the texts, from immediately after the
New Testament period, which are conventionally referred to as the
Apostolic Fathers.
The second volume, Trajectories through the New Testament and the
Apostolic Fathers, discusses broad theological, literary, and
historical issues that arise in the comparative study of these
texts, and which are of importance to the study of early
Christianity. It deals with the most important current debates
concerning both the Apostolic Fathers and the New Testament, such
as baptism, Pauline theology, the function of apocalyptic elements,
Church order, and Jewish and Christian identity.

The first volume, The Reception of the New Testament in the
Apostolic Fathers, presents a comprehensive and rigorous discussion
of the extent to which the writings later included in the New
Testament were known to and used by each of the Apostolic Fathers.
Contemporary research on the textual traditions of both collections
is used to address the questions of textual transmission and
reception.
There has recently been strong support for the hypothesis that,
contrary to the formerly accepted view that Mark's gospel was the
first to be written, Mark was in fact the last synoptic gospel to
appear. This book is a detailed examination of the arguments used
to support this view, which constitutes a revival of that put
forward by J. J. Griesbach at the end of the eighteenth century.
Since Markan priority and the Two-Document hypothesis have been
basic presuppositions for much modern gospel study, all attempts to
question them must be taken very seriously. Dr Tuckett does this by
investigating the redactional activity each hypothesis presupposes,
and by then asking which source theory provides the most rational
and consistent account of the redactional process.
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Apocrypha addresses issues
and themes that arise in the study of early Christian apocryphal
literature. It discusses key texts including the Gospel of Thomas,
the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Peter, letters attributed to
Paul, Peter, and Jesus, and acts and apocalypses written about or
attributed to different apostles. Part One consists of
authoritative surveys of the main branches of apocryphal literature
(gospels, acts, epistles, apocalypses, and related literature) and
Part Two considers key issues that they raise. These include their
contribution to our understanding of developing theological
understandings of Jesus, the apostles and other important figures
such as Mary. It also addresses the value of these texts as
potential sources for knowledge of the historical Jesus, and for
debates about Jewish-Christian relations, the practice of Christian
worship, and developing understandings of asceticism, gender and
sexuality, etc. The volume also considers questions such as which
ancient readers read early Christian apocrypha, their place in
Christian spirituality, and their place in contemporary popular
culture and contemporary theological discourse.
This volume provides the first full-scale edition and commentary in
English of the text known as 2 Clement since Lightfoot's
magisterial work at the end of the 19th century. The volume
contains a critical edition of the text in Greek, including a full
critical apparatus based on all the surviving manuscripts, together
with an English translation. A full introduction deals with issues
of manuscript and other attestation, authorship, date, place etc.,
as well as discussing issues concerning the genre of the text, the
identity of possible 'opponents', citations, as well as providing
an overall summary of the theology of the text. The work also
provides a full-scale detailed commentary on the Greek text,
providing analysis of all the main issues arising from the text.
