Qumran Cave 4: XIV: Parabiblical Texts, Part 2 / Edition 1

by Magen Broshi, Esther Eshel, Joseph Fitzmyer, Erik Larson, Carol Newsom

Overview

This volume contains a collection of compositions from cave 4 at Qumran written during the Second Temple period and linked to the Hebrew Bible through text, characters, themes, or genre. While some of the documents represent a reworking, rewriting, or paraphrase of biblical books, all greatly enhance our understanding of biblical interpretation during the period and the phenomenon of pseudepigraphy.
