Israel's Prophetic Tradition
This successful volume of essays by distinguished scholars not only makes a contribution to the study of Old Testament prophets but also summarizes scholarship in a way particularly appropriate to students, giving access to material available otherwise only in other languages or in journals difficult to obtain.
Chapter Eleven. The Exile In The Literature Of The Intertestamental Period
Essays on the Book of Enoch and other early Jewish texts and traditions
This volume brings together twenty-one essays by Michael Knibb on the Book of Enoch and on other Early Jewish texts and traditions, which were originally published in a wide range of journals, Festschriften, conference proceedings and thematic collections. A number of the essays are concerned with the issues raised by the complex textual history and literary genesis of 1 Enoch, but the majority are concerned with the interpretation of specific te…
Biblical Traditions in Transmission
This collection comprises eighteen papers by friends, colleagues and students of Michal A. Knibb on the theme of the transmission of biblical traditions in a variety of contexts. In the main the articles deal with the transmission of biblical traditions in the versions, the pseudepigrapha, at Qumran, and in early Christian writings. The collection as a whole clearly demonstrates the way in which biblical traditions were shaped and re-shaped creat…
Interpreting the Book of Enoch
INTERPRETING THE BOOK OF ENOCH: REFLECTIONS ON A RECENTLY PUBLISHED COMMENTARY by MICHAEL A. KNIBB King’s College London I The Book of Enoch is one of the most important texts of Second Temple Judaism and has been the object of intense study since the publication by Milik in 1976 of the Aramaic fragments of the text. But while there have been detailed studies devoted to the text of the book and new translations in several languages, and while the…
Christian Adoption and Transmission of Jewish Pseudepigrapha
Cet article etudie un cas de transmission et d'adaptation par des chretiens d'un pseudepigraphe juif (1 Enoch). L'origine de cet apocryphe, transmis par des chretiens, est en effet controversee : est-il juif ou chretien ? Quoiqu'il en soit, l'A. constate que, meme si l'on admet son origine juive, il peut donner lieu a une lecture chretienne. Il faut egalement signaler que l'A. infirme la these de l'existence d'une tetralogie de textes sur Enoch a…

Apocalyptic and Wisdom in 4 Ezra
APOCALYPTIC AND WISDOM IN 4 EZRA BY MICHAEL A. KNIBB London I It was, I suppose, vorr RAD who first gave prominence to the idea that apocalyptic is a form of wisdom. In itself the idea is quite old; it can be found already in an article on Daniel published by H6LSCHER in 1919 and can be traced back even before this'). However, in the face of the overwhelming view that apocalyptic is the child of prophecy it was only with the publication in 1960 o…
The Ethiopic Book of Enoch. A New Edition in the Light of the Aramaic Dead Sea Fragments
The Ethiopic Version of the Lives of the Prophets
The collection of legends about the prophets known as the Lives of the Prophets belongs amongst the Old Testament pseudepigrapha. It is a Jewish work in origin, perhaps dating from the first century A.D., and was composed in Greek or, less probably, Hebrew. It was subsequently taken over by the Church, and none of the extant witnesses to the text is entirely free of the signs of Christian editing. The wealth of textual evidence available is consi…
The Date of the Parables of Enoch
Amongst the many incidental issues raised by J. T. Milik in his edition of the Aramaic fragments of Enoch from Qumran 1 that of the date of the Parables of Enoch is perhaps one of the most important. Although there has never been anything approaching a consensus as to the exact date of this work, I would think it fair to say that many scholars in this century, if not the majority, have taken the view that the Parables are Jewish in origin; many h…
