Introducing the Pseudepigrapha of Second Temple Judaism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls it has become clear that pseudepigrapha are critical for understanding ancient Judaism and Christianity. Daniel Gurtner provides a much-needed new introduction to these writings, deftly synthesizing cutting-edge specialist research into an engaging and accessible book brimming with insights that will challenge and delight. The result is a perfect resource for teaching as well as an ideal entry point for readers interested in learning more about these fascinating but neglected writings.”

Satan and the Problem of Evil

Theology

“Brilliantly interweaving concerns for exegesis and theology, Archie Wright offers an illuminating survey of ancient perspectives on the problem of evil. Wright’s book makes scholarly findings on the fascinating history of Satan accessible and engaging, powerfully demonstrating how ancient discussions of the demonic can resound with sharp relevance in our own difficult times.”

The Protevangelium of James

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Lily Vuong’s superb annotated translation on the Protevangelium of James opens a new perspective on an influential text too long neglected by modern scholars, richly situating its treatment of Mary in terms of its own literary structure and its early Christian context, but also with a powerful sense of its impact on Christian art, liturgy, and culture.”
