The Apocrypha (Epworth Commentaries)

The Apocrypha: This commentary combines a verse by verse analysis of a number of apocryphal, pseudepigraphal and deuterocanonical books, including Jesus Sirach, Baruch, Tobit and 1 and 2 Maccabees, with a wider discussion about issues of the canon of Scripture raised by these books. The author explores the problems and opportunities presented by the encounter of different cultures and religions and draws some parallels between the ancient texts and today's world.
