Reihe: Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies

These fourteen selected essays were originally read at the LXXSA international conference: (28-30 August 2015), hosted by the North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa.

Here, the intention was to apply new critical theory and approaches to the fields of Old Testament Scripture as well as associated Apocryphal and Cognate literature, with a specific focus on the interrelated recurring theme of the Wisdom of the deity and its decryption and reception at various times in history.

In this regard, it was felt that this theme and associated source texts had been largely overlooked in recent scholarship. Here the aim was to attract recent research by both leading national as well as international scholars which not only shed new light on Old Testament Apocrypha and so-called Pseudepigraphical literature but which also critically reviewed certain biblical wisdom texts which are foundational for both the Christian as well as Jewish communities.

As a consequence, many of the essays deal with the apocryphal However, important contributions may also be found apropos and the works of Josephus Flavius.
