Abraham in Jewish and Early Christian Literature
Sean A. Adams (Anthology Editor), Zanne Domoney-Lyttle (Anthology Editor)
Jewish and early Christian authors discussed Abraham in numerous and diverse ways, adapting his Old Testament narratives and using Abrahamic imagery in their works. However, while some areas of study in Abrahamic texts have received much scholarly attention, other areas remain nearly untouched. Beginning with a perspective on how Abraham was used within Jewish literature, this collection of essays follows the impact of Abraham across biblical texts–including Pseudigraphic and Apocryphal texts – into early Greek, Latin and Gnostic literature.
These essays build upon existing Abraham scholarship, by discussing Abraham in less explored areas such as rewritten scripture, Philo of Alexandria, Josephus, the Apostolic Fathers and contemporary Greek and Latin authors. Through the presentation of a more thorough outline of the impact of the figure and stories of Abraham, the contributors to this volume create a concise and complete idea of how his narrative was employed throughout the centuries, and how ancient authors adopted and adapted received traditions.

Ruth: A Story of God’s Kindness
What a joy to read Dr. David Mende’s book, Ruth: A Story of God’s Kindness. I have always considered the book of Ruth to be a little gem nestled in the middle of God’s story in the Old Testament. In addition to a riveting storyline, it is a wonderful illustration of the fulfillment of Jesus as our precious Kinsman – Redeemer. Dr. Mende so skillfully combines a scholarly exposition of the times in which book of Ruth was written with practical application for our own lives. You will be blessed by hid depth of insight and interesting style of presentation.

The main body of the Companion concludes with crucial issues and topics discussed by leading scholars. Complemented by extensive appendices and indexes, this Companion provides the ideal resource for those seriously engaging with the Dead Sea Scrolls.
