Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a thorough and accessible monograph, Donald H. Carlson discusses the origins, logic and justification of the so-called false pericopes theory as found in the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies. This is an interesting and helpful contribution both to our understanding of evolving hermeneutical theories among early Christians and the extent to which such theories emerged from a wider Jewish, pagan, as well as Christian, world." —James Carleton Paget University of Cambridge "Jewish-Christian Interpretation of the Pentateuch illumines well late antique approaches to reading Scripture and offers a timely examination of the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies, a work that every scholar of early Christianity should know. Donald Carlson is to be commended for this fascinating study.”
