9781565636934: The Old Testament Apocrypha: An Introduction

Synopsis

Otto Kaiser’s compact and scholarly introduction to the Old Testament’s Apocrypha, or Deuterocanonical books, is now available in a new English translation. This small volume is ideal as a textbook or course supplement in colleges, universities, and seminaries.

With study needs in mind, the book offers specialized bibliographies at the end of each chapter which list introductions, published texts, articles, and commentaries pertaining to a particular apocryphal book.

Students will also particularly appreciate the clear overarching structure of this book and its discussion of recent research in the field of apocrypha studies. This brief book will find a well-deserved place in the reference section of your library.

From the Inside Flap

Kaiser here offers in a remarkably succinct way the latest scholarship on those books in some Christian Bibles called the Apocrypha, in some the Deuterocanonicals, in some fully integral books of the First Christian Testament, but in yet others totally absent. It is a compendium of the essential issues about each book: its textual situation, its textual transmission, its literary structure, its origins, its theology, and the historical situation addressed by each. The introduction is a cursory but critically valuable look at the Hellenization of Judaism in its different phases and how the turmoil of the Jews gave rise to these varying Jewish reactions and responses to the pre-Christian and pre-Rabbinic world of Early Judaism. The pertinent bibliographies are especially useful. Scholars and the curious at all levels will find it a rich resource.

Otto Kaiser’s introduction to the Old Testament Apocrypha offers readers a succinct assessment of the critical issues that attend this important body of literature. This veteran scholar investigates questions of dating, sources, redaction, extant mss and versions, fictive authorship, and provides excellent, up-to-date bibliographies. I recommend this book enthusiastically.

— Craig Evans, Acadia Divinity College
