Series: T&T Clark Handbooks

This volume provides a critical introduction to Hellenistic Jewish Literature. It offers serious students and scholars with an overview of the scholarly issues for each work (covering issues such as date, provenance, language, content, style, reception, contribution to ancient Judaism, etc.) as well as important information about critical editions, manuscripts, and secondary scholarship, serving as a clear starting point for anyone who is interested in this corpus of literature.

The volume begins with a set of thematic essays, providing orientation for the reader and examining core general issues such as language, geography and identity. The core of the volume provides overviews of the scholarly issues surrounding texts. Each entry provides readers with the core information necessary to study the text in depth and to understand its impact upon our understanding of Hellenistic Judaism and its later reception.

Reviews for T&T Clark Handbook of Hellenistic Jewish Literature in Greek

A rich, authoritative and readable set of essays on the many varieties of literature written in Greek by Hellenistic Jews. This book matches its subject matter: it is enormous, endlessly diverse, always rewarding to engage with. * Tim Whitmarsh, University of Cambridge, UK * This comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Jewish works in Greek — spanning the broad period of the mid-third century BCE to the second century CE — offers both thematic essays and in-depth studies of individual works. It is an invaluable addition to the resources available on Judaism for both specialists and students. * Alison Salvesen, University of Oxford, UK *
