Book Synopsis The Greek Life of Adam and Eve by : John R. Levison
Download or read book The Greek Life of Adam and Eve written by John R. Levison and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 1079 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Life of Adam and Eve is a brooding epic that explores experiences of disease, death, and hope through a riveting reinvention of the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Seth. Now, for the first time, Jack Levison offers the English-speaking world its first comprehensive commentary on this saga. The introduction offers analyses, sweeping in scope and rich in detail, for which no comparable discussions exist in any language. Chapter one details literary character—narrative flow, characters, and reconstructions of literary growth. With consummate clarity, chapter two brings order to the scholarly chaos surrounding Greek manuscripts, Greek text forms, versions (Latin, Armenian, Georgian, Slavonic), and the history of research. Chapter three investigates provenance: external references to the Greek Life and evidence for either a Jewish or Christian origin; Levison demonstrates that arguments for either a Jewish or Christian provenance cannot bear the weight scholars have laid on them. The commentary is equally comprehensive, with far-reaching discussions of the Greek illuminated by the foreground of Jewish scripture and the milieu of ancient Greek and Hebrew literature. With a fresh translation and bibliography.

Book Synopsis Dying Adam with his Multiethnic Family by : Michael D. Eldridge
Download or read book Dying Adam with his Multiethnic Family written by Michael D. Eldridge and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Life of Adam and Eve addresses the issue that every individual in every generation needs to face: the prospect of pain and sickness leading to death and beyond that the great unknown. But what kind of message does this writing bring to its readers? What kind of ‘salvation’ does it offer? Is it a Jewish or Christian text? In this first attempt to provide a comprehensive interpretation, Michael Eldridge deploys a panoply of scholarly methods, including lexical analysis, textual criticism, genre criticism, narrative criticism and speech act theory, to establish that the Greek Life has in part a missionary intent and is most likely a Jewish rather than a Christian text. This study will interest all concerned with Early Judaism, especially those grappling with the ‘Jewish mission’ question.

Book Synopsis Life of Adam and Eve and Related Literature by : Marinus de Jonge
Download or read book Life of Adam and Eve and Related Literature written by Marinus de Jonge and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Adam and Eve once belonged to the most popular literature in the Christian world. Retelling the Genesis 3 story, it gives an elaborate description of Adam's death and his assumption to Paradise in the third heaven. His continued existence, as well as his future resurrection, are as much a paradigm for humanity as his transgression, condemnation and death. For a long time attention was focused on the Greek and Latin versions only. More recently, editions of Georgian and Armenian versions have become available, occupying a middle position between the Greek and the Latin. This new material now makes it necessary to sort out the relationships between no less than five clearly related but in many respects different documents. Taken together they present a complex but interesting mosaic of reflections on the human plight, inspired by the Genesis story.

Book Synopsis Petitioners, Penitents, and Poets by : Timothy J. Sandoval
Download or read book Petitioners, Penitents, and Poets written by Timothy J. Sandoval and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes to the growing interest in understanding the phenomenon of prayer and praying in the Hebrew Bible, Early Judaism, and nascent Christianity. Papers by the leading scholars in these fields revisit long-standing questions and chart new paths of inquiry into the nature, form, and practice of addressing the divine in the ancient world. The essays in this volume deal with particular texts of and about prayer, practices of prayer, as well as figures and locations (historical and literary) that are associated with prayer and praying. These studies apply a range of methods and theoretical approaches to prayer and the language of prayer in literatures of Early Judaism and Christianity. Some studies apply the classical methods of biblical studies to Second Temple texts of prayer, including form critical and text critical approaches; others engage in literary and narrative analysis of ancient works that recount discourse directed to the divine. Still other studies draw on anthropological and sociological analyses of prayer or marshal particular theories of discourse, ethics, and moral agency to offer fresh interpretations of address to God in the literature of Second Temple Judaism and earliest Christianity.

Book Synopsis A History of the Literature of Adam and Eve by : Michael E. Stone
Download or read book A History of the Literature of Adam and Eve written by Michael E. Stone and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work describes and analyzes the extensive research on the origin, date, transmission and textual histories, and interrelationships of the primary Adam and Eve books. The "primary" Adam and Eve literature includes the Greek Apocalypse of Moses, the Latin Vita Adam et Evae, the Slavonic Vita Adam et Evae, the Armenian Penitence of Adam, the Georgian Book of Adam, and a fragmentary Coptic version. Like most of the Jewish pseudepigrapha, the transmission of this literature occured primarily in Christian contexts. The question is : how did this literature function in these contexts and by what criteria are the Adam and Eve books to be identified as either Jewish or Christian? Because of the complexity of the transmission history of the Adam and Eve books, this study has far-reaching implications regarding the later use and reshaping of Jewish pseudepigrapha. Includes an extensive bibliography." -- Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis New Perspectives on 2 Enoch by : Andrei Orlov
Download or read book New Perspectives on 2 Enoch written by Andrei Orlov and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-05-25 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Perspectives on 2 Enoch: No Longer Slavonic Only presents a collection of papers from the fifth conference of the Enoch Seminar. The conference re-examines 2 Enoch, an early Jewish apocalyptic text previously known to scholars only in its Slavonic translation, in light of recently identified Coptic fragments. This approach helps to advance the understanding of many key issues of this enigmatic and less explored Enochic text. One of the important methodological lessons of the current volume lies in the recognition that the Adamic and Melchizedek traditions, the mediatorial currents which play an important role in the apocalypse, are central for understanding the symbolic universe of the text. The volume also contains the recently identified Coptic fragments of 2 Enoch, introduced to scholars for the first time during the conference.
