Review of More New Testament Apocrypha volume 3 (with an update on MOTP2)

READING ACTS: Tony Burke, ed. New Testament Apocrypha, Vol. 3: More Noncanonical Scriptures. Phil Long reviews MTNA3.

For my four-part review of MNTA1, see here and links. For the six-part AJR review of MNTA2, see here and links. And editor Tony Burke has posts on the editing of MNTA 1-3 at his blog, Apocryphicity, here and links, here, and here.

Regular readers may be wondering whatever happened to the More Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Project (MOTP). I am happy to report that volume 2 of Old Testament Pseudepigrapha: More Noncanonical Scriptures, edited by myself and Richard Bauckham, is on track and nearing completion. All going well, it should be in your hands by 2025.

For volume 1, see here. For a preview of one of the showpieces of volume 2, see here.
