1 Enoch 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“We are dealing here with the life achievement of one of the very few real specialists on 1 Enoch.... It is clearly written, systematically structured, up to date, easy to use, and a monument of critical, literary, and historical scholarship, a compliment to the Hermeneia series. It avoids the fashionable use of methodologies but, instead, treats us with an abundance of textual analyses, helpful observations, and a richness of tradition–and religion–historical parallel material that makes the study of Second Temple Judaism so rewarding. It deserves its place on the bookshelves of all academic institutions in the study of religions in antiquity, as it goes far beyond the field of biblical studies. A great work.”

Myths on the Margins

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is a great book. From the myths of the wicked angels in the book of Genesis to the various myths associated with the Messiah in the New Testament, the author not only makes sense of myths but also critically engages with them, while using both biblical and other ancient Jewish and Christian sources in accessible translations. Warmly recommended for a broad audience.”

Political Eschatology

Theology

“Eschatology is back, and political eschatology is even more relevant than it has ever been before. Sean McGrath shows us in honest clarity and in seven well documented essays how important it is to not only include eschatology in our theological reflection about the consequences of modernity and the very future of humanity, but to make it the very center of it.”
