|  | Jewish and Christian Apocalypses by F. Burkitt
In this time of intense apocalyptic interests, Burkitt’s study of extra-biblical apocalypses will shed some light. Burkitt is known for his work in early Christianity, and he is well-equipped to deal with this difficult issue. These Schweich Lectures of 1913 address the book of Enoch, minor Jewish and early Christian apocalypses, especially the Ascension of Isaiah. |
|  | Didascalia Apostolorum Syriace by Paul de Lagarde
Published for the first time by Paul de Lagarde in the extant Syriac, this volume reproduces the initial edition of the Didascalia Apostolorum. This important document, which purports to have been written by the apostles is a third-century pseudepigraphon. Presenting a view of the Catholic doctrine as it was believed to have been held by the original apostles, the topics addressed include worship, doctrine, and Christian discipline. For the Syriac scholar wishing to engage a foundational document in the early history of the church, this publication represents an excellent starting point. |

This volume contains the inaugural dissertation of the Hungarian scholar Salomon Funk. In it, he addresses the following questions: What is Aphrahat’s dependence on Jewish sources? Which traditions did he receive from the Jews? Is Aphrahat unique in Syriac literature for his relationship to the Jews? After an introduction on Aphrahat’s life, works, and previous scholarship on him, Funk’s method is to go through biblical passages that Aphrahat comments on and show parallels in rabbinic literature. These passages are mostly from the Pentateuch but some subsequent parts of the Old Testament are also briefly touched on. Funk then shows how some of Aphrahat’s expressions and patterns of speech are related to rabbinic literature, and, finally, he indicates how Aphrahat’s psychology and theology relate to Jewish sources. The work concludes with three extraneous notes on the Jews in Persia, the Talmudic expression “Be Abidan,” and Aphrahat’s biblical citations and the Peshitta. Table of Contents | |
