This book introduces the reader to a fascinating genre of writings
that retell biblical narratives in various ways. They reflect the
concerns and methods of early Jewish interpreters of Scripture.
Daniel Falk surveys the content and major scholarly issues of three
key examples: Genesis Apocryphon (1QapGen), Reworked Pentateuch
(4Q158, 364-5), and Commentary to Genesis (4Q252-4). Particular
attention is paid to exploring why and how the authors interpret
the Scriptural text in their distinctive ways. The book traces
continuity and discontinuity with other Jewish and Christian
traditions, and reflects on the significance of these texts for the
status of Scripture and the boundary between Scripture and
interpretation. Drawing on the latest research and reconstructions
of the texts, and with extensive bibliographies, this is an
authoritative guide for the student or the non-specialist scholar.
This book represents the third in a series tracing the development
of a tradition of prayer that arose in the Jewish Second Temple
period. Its critical essays trace the impact of the Second Temple
penitential prayer traditions on the development of prayers and
thought in rabbinic Judaism and Christianity during late antiquity
and the early medieval periods.
