Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament As Part of Christian Literature: The Case of the Testaments of the Twelve ... Marinus De Jonge
Brill Academic Publishers, 2003
The primary witnesses of the writings called Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament are, in great majority, of Christian provenance. It has been customary for scholars to look for an originally Jewish form of the documents, reflecting Jewish life and thought in the period between 200 BCE and 100 CE. In this volume, M. de Jonge argues that these writings should, first of all, be studied as documents ...

This book compares five major groups of texts of the same pseudepigraphal book. This book is not appropriate for someone who has not read previous works containing or discussing the Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament. This book does not describe the textual problems with the work; nor does it ...

I read this book as someone raised Christian who now is inspired by most of the world's religions. I'm one of those people who hasn't met a religion they didn't like! Christianity still holds a special place in my heart. Just like I've discovered sushi & Thai food since leaving home, doesn't ...

The Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas: With Introduction, Notes, and Original Text Featuring the New ... 2 reviews
Polebridge Press, 1996
Review of the Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas
+ Where's the hard cover?
I found the work quite interesting. I focused more on the text rather than the extra notes provided by the author. Based on their length, I can understand one reason why these two works did not qualify for biblical inclusion. In addition, The Infancy Book of Thomas revealed human weakness in a ...

The koran is the most violent, disgusting pieces of garbage ever written by lunatics who were child molesters, caravan raiders, murderers and bandits. Islam, is a fanatical, cult-like belief that doesn't allow anyone to convert out and yet forces people in. Ibn Warraq, like myself, a former muslim, ...

It seems that the previous two reviewers, who both appear to be Roman Catholics, already knew about the Infancy Gospel of James and hence this book wasn't so useful to them.
I, on the other hand, in my ignorance, found that I knew nothing about this manuscript or later documents based on it. I ...
