Pseudepigrapha: An Account Of Certain Apocryphal Sacred Writings Of The Jews And Early Christians (1891) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164379942)

Pseudepigrapha: An Account of Certain Apocryphal Sacred Writings of the Jews and Early Christians is a book written by William John Deane and originally published in 1891. The book provides an overview and analysis of a collection of ancient texts known as the Pseudepigrapha, which are considered to be apocryphal or non-canonical by mainstream Jewish and Christian traditions. The Pseudepigrapha includes a variety of texts that were written between the third century BCE and the second century CE, including works such as the Book of Enoch, the Testament of Abraham, and the Apocalypse of Adam. In his book, Deane explores the historical and cultural context in which these texts were written, as well as their theological and literary significance. He also discusses the controversies surrounding the inclusion or exclusion of these texts from the biblical canon, and their influence on later Jewish and Christian thought. Overall, Pseudepigrapha provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of an important but often overlooked aspect of ancient religious literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
