Metatron 1.1

H-JUDAIC: ToC: New open access journal! Metatron vol. 1, Issue 1: Ancient Hebrew Literature Beyond the Bible, Part I. I noted the inception of the journal here.

You can access the first issue here.

Part One of a series on Ancient Hebrew Literature Beyond “The Bible.” For the earliest Jewish readers and writers, there was no “Bible.” Instead the literature from this period constitutes a surprisingly broad spectrum of sacred texts from Genesis and the Books of Enoch to hundreds of different Psalms attributed to David but often not found in modern Bibles. If the publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls along with decades of new research has proven that “Bible” is a misleading anachronism for the Second Temple period, can we create a new and better picture of Judaism and Christianity’s earliest known religious literature?
