Book Synopsis Exploring the Scripturesque by : Robert A. Kraft

Download or read book Exploring the Scripturesque written by Robert A. Kraft and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays span about a third of a century and include both previously published and some unpublished studies by Robert A. Kraft which focus on interfaces between Jewish materials and the worlds in which they were transmitted and/or perceived, especially Christian contexts. The initial section on general context and methodology is followed by several detailed studies by way of example. The final section touches on some related issues involving Philonic and other texts. The primary concern is with "scripturesque" materials and traditions, whether they later became canonical or not, that seem to have been respected as scriptural by some individuals or communities in the period prior to (or apart from) the development of an exclusivistic canonical consciousness in some Jewish and Christian circles.
