The contributors are biblical scholars who have chosen one or more Jewish or Christian apocryphal or pseudepigraphical texts, with the aim of describing their ancient functions in their emerging social settings. These show the fluidity of the notion of scripture in the early centuries of the Church and in Judaism of late antiquity, but they also show the value of examining the ancient religious texts that were not included in the Jewish or Christian biblical canons. These chapters show that there is much that can be learned from examining and comparing these texts with canonical literature and evaluating them in their social context. No ancient text was created in a vacuum, and the non- canonical writings aid in our interpretation not only of many canonical writings, but also shed considerable light on the context of both early Judaism and early Christianity. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 586 B.C.-600 A.D|2fast 650 0 Apocryphal books|xCriticism, interpretation, etc.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh97009003 650 0 Church history|yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025620 650 0 Judaism|xHistory|yPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.D. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070849 650 7 Apocryphal books.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 811408 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|t"Non-canonical" religious texts in early Judaism and early Christianity.
