Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a remarkably wide-ranging view of the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, an ancient Jewish religious text that historians believe was written sometime between the second century BCE and the second century CE. As a pseudepigraphical work, it presents itself as the writings of the twelve sons of Jacob, each of whom reflects on his own life and offers guidance to his descendants. In the centuries since its composition, it has been referenced in early Christian literature and notably by Origen, but has received comparatively little direct study. The author of this book examines existing manuscripts of the text and explores its reception and influence in different communities over the years to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding this important but understudied work. The book offers a powerful resource for anyone interested in the study of ancient Judaism and early Christianity.
