Interpretation of Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity: Studies in Language and Tradition (Library Of Second Temple Studies) [Hardcover]

Craig A. Evans (Author)

Book Description

Series: Library Of Second Temple Studies | Publication Date: June 1, 2000

This volume assembles several important studies that examine the role of language in meaning and interpretation. The various contributions investigate interpretation in the versions, in intertestamental traditions, in the New Testament, and in the rabbis and the targumim. The authors, who include well-known veterans as well as younger scholars, explore the differing ways in which the language of Scripture stimulates the understanding of the sacred text in late antiquity and gives rise to important theological themes. This book is a significant resource for any scholar interested in the interpretation of Scripture in and just after the biblical period.>
