Essays in the Judaic Background of Mark 11:12-14, 20-21; 15:23, Luke 1:37; John 19:28-30, and Acts 11:28 (Studies in Judaism)

These five essays deal with the influence of Judaic haggadah or lore, especially in the form of “creative historiography” or “imaginative dramatization,” on four enigmatic passages in the Gospels, and one in Acts.
