Jewish-Christian Interpretation of the Pentateuch in the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies


Product Description
The pseudo-Clementine writings are one of the most intriguing and valuable sources for early Jewish Christianity. They offer a second- or third-century polemic against the form of Christianity that eventually won out, the Gentile-majority, law-free Christianity that took Paul as its champion. Carlson's interest here is in the highly unusual theory expressed in the Homilies that the Pentateuch is saturated with “false pericopes,� and that the teaching of Jesus, the “true prophet, � is the criterion for establishing what the Pentateuch really means.Jewish-Christian Interpretation of the Pentateuch in the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies Review
I am a big fan of Don Carlson's Kindle works for Greek resources, so it is no surprise to me that his published dissertation by Fortress is also a great example of his excellent and careful scholarship. Whether you are interested in the Pseudo-Clementine homilies or not, this work should be read by all who are interested in the history of interpretation of the Bible. His book provides a fascinating look at the approach of interpreting the Pentateuch by one group of early Christians.I highly recommend any of Carlson's stuff...but this work by far demonstrates his mastery of the original sources of early Christianity.
