Zsengellér (ed.), Rewritten Bible after Fifty Years

NEW BOOK FROM BRILL:

Rewritten Bible after Fifty Years: Texts, Terms, or Techniques?
A Last Dialogue with Geza Vermes

Edited by József Zsengellér, Károli Gáspár Reformed University, Budapest

Rewritten Bible After Fifty Years presents the papers of a conference on the meanings and usages of the term Rewritten Bible introduced by Geza Vermes in 1961. Leading scholars of the topic discuss their new insights and ideas comparing with Vermes' initiative, whose participation on this conference was unfortunately the last chance for a life dialogue with him on this topic.
Apart from the terminological discussions and comparisons several case studies widen the scope of the notion of Rewritten Bible/Scripture and rewriting as a genre and technique.

Vermes's last book has also recently been published and is noted here.
