Contents:

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha -- The Dead Sea scrolls -- Versions of the Old Testament -- Philo and Josephus -- The Targums -- Rabbinic literature -- The New Testament Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha -- Early church fathers -- Gnostic writings -- Other writings -- Examples of New Testament exegesis -- Appendixes. Canons of Scripture that include the Apocrypha ; Quotations, allusions, and parallels to the New Testament ; Parallels between New Testament gospels and Pseudepigraphal gospels ; Jesus' parables and the parables of the rabbis ; Jesus and Jewish miracle story ; Messianic claimants of the first and second centuries.

Subject: Perhaps one of the most challenging hurdles facing the NT interpreter is becoming familiar with the ancient primary sources from the countless Greco-Roman, Jewish, and Pagan works. From the Paraphrase of Shem to Pesiqta Rabbati, scholars and students alike must have a fundamental understanding of these documents' content, provenance, and place in NT interpretation. Unfortunately, achieving even an elementary facility with this literature has in the past depended on either years of experience or a photographic memory. Now Craig A. Evans pulls together the essentials of date, language, text and translations, and general bibliography. He also evaluates the material's relevance for interpreting the NT. Six appendixes, including a list of quotations, allusions, and parallels to the NT, and a comparison of Jesus' parables with those of the rabbis, are designed to further save the interpreter hours of precious time.
