Synopsis

1ST EDITION 1ST PRINTING, Edited by Randal A. Argall, Beverly A. Bow, and Rodney A. Werline. Published by Trinity Press International, 2000. Twenty-six essays in honor of George W.E. Nickelsburg, examine the reuse and reinterpretation of authoritative tradition in early Judaism and early Christianity. Publisher's statement: "The current generation of biblical scholarship bears the unmistakable imprint of George Nickelburg's steady insistence on paying attention to the Second Temple period. In a fitting recognition of his influence, For A Later Generation acknowledges the indebtedness of Bible readers to his pioneering work in this field." Among the articles included are: The Suda and the "Priesthood of Jesus"; A Hellenistic Jewish Source on the Essense in Philo, Every Good Man is Free 75-91 and Josephus, Antiquities 18.18-22; Prophetic Rhetoric in 6 Ezra; Melchizedek's Birth Narrative in 2 Enoch 68-73; How did they Pray? Times of Prayer in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Associated Literature; The Metamorphosis of Isaiah 13:2-14:27; The Ironic End of Joash in Chronicles; Wisdom Psalms and the Shaping of the Hebrew Psalter; The Ending of Luke and the Ending of the Odyssey; Exegesis of Genesis 1 in the Gospels of Thomas and John; Jesus' True Family: The Synoptic Tradition and Thomas; more
