Hardcover. NY, Doubleday and Company, 1st, 1985, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a lightly chipped dust jacket. The writers of the Bible, like any other authors, were dependent on a vast array of literary sources from their time-the ancient world. Many of these documents are tragically lost, but what remains provides insight into the voluminous, fascinating, complex, and dynamic literary world that shaped the expressions of faith found in the Old and New Testaments. Part of these extant sources are known as the Pseudepigrapha. This collection of Jewish and Christian writings shed light on early Judaism and Christianity and their doctrines. Volume 2 only (of a 2-volume set). 1006 pages. Clean copy.
