Macaskill, The Entangled Enoch: 2 Enoch and the Cultures of Late Antiquity (Brill)

NEW BOOK FROM BRILL:

The Entangled Enoch: 2 Enoch and the Cultures of Late Antiquity

Series:
Studia in Veteris Testamenti Pseudepigrapha, Volume: 28

Author: Grant Macaskill

This study reframes and reorients the study of 2 Enoch, moving beyond debates about Christian or Jewish authorship and considering the work in the context of eclectic and erudite cultures in late antiquity, particularly Syria. The study compares the work with the Parables of Enoch and then with a variety of writings associated with late antique Syrian theology, demonstrating the distinctively eclectic character of 2 Enoch. It offers new paradigms for research into the pseudepigrapha.
