Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Many readers of scripture, particularly in North America, are not aware that a substantial number of books were removed from their Old Testament. These books, often known collectively as the Apocrypha, were considered scripture for centuries and for millions of Christians today still are. This book is an introduction to the Apocrypha. It discusses ancient and early modern disputes about scripture to provide context for understanding the formation of the textualcategory " Each chapter focuses on a specific book, examining its core themes and ideas. The cultural and historical context of the composition of each book is analyzed in its ancient Jewishmilieu. This historical context is often elucidated by the Dead Sea Scrolls which have only in recent years been published in full. The later reception of this material in rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and other modern cultural contexts such as art and literature, is also discussed. This book is designed to be read along with the texts of the Apocrypha themselves, as presented in the New Oxford Annotated Bible.The present volume is written not primarily forscholars but rather for anyone who would like to learn more about the Apocrypha. This book was shaped by an overarching conviction-that people who know next to nothing about the writings covered in this volumewould enjoy reading them. If you have heard something about the books of the Apocrypha and want to know more about them, this book is for you. This book is an introduction to the Apocrypha and related literature, written for a non-specialist audience. Each chapter focuses on a specific book, examining its core themes and ideas, the cultural and historical context of its composition, and its later reception. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the Apocrypha can benefit from reading this book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
