Targums and Rabbinic Literature : Volume 7
Outline : To understand the New Testament well, it is important to study the larger world surrounding it, and one of the primary avenues for this exploration is through reading related ancient texts, a daunting task for scholars and novices alike given the sheer size of the ancient literary corpora. The ALNTS series aims to bridge this gap by introducing the key ancient texts that form the cultural, historical and literary context for the study of the New Testament. Written in Aramaic and Hebrew, the documents covered in Targums and Rabbinic Literature were composed in the period between the Second Temple, formative in the lives of Jesus and his early followers, and the Middle Ages. While knowledge of these literatures is crucial for New Testament interpretation, in order to avoid anachronism, their use requires analytic precision. This volume sets out the history of these sources, document by document, so that their dating, cultural context, and theology can be taken into account. Additionally, specific intersections with the New Testament are explained on a critical bass, Introductory essays dedicated to each grouping of texts offer broader overviews of the texts and the periods that produced them.
