The Apostolic Fathers
ByPublisher Description
Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies is a multivolume series that seeks to introduce key ancient texts that form the cultural, historical, and literary context for the study of the New Testament.
Each volume will feature introductory essays to the corpus, followed by articles on the relevant texts. Each article will address introductory matters, provenance, summary of content, interpretive issues, key passages for New Testament studies and their significance.
Neither too technical to be used by students nor too thin on interpretive information to be useful for serious study of the New Testament, this series provides a much-needed resource for understanding the New Testament in its first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman context. Produced by an international team of leading experts in each corpus, Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies stands to become the standard resource for both scholars and students. Volumes include:
- The Apocrypha and Septuagint - Bruce W. Longenecker, Marieke Dhont, and James K. Aitken†
- The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha - Loren T. Stuckenbruck
- The Dead Sea Scrolls - Cecilia Wassén
- The Apostolic Fathers - Paul Foster
- Philo and Josephus - Honora Howell Chapman, Zuleika Rodgers, and Justin M. Rogers
