- Summary:
- Kugel (emeritus, Hebrew literature, Harvard U.) begins with a verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Jubilees, which in his opinion is the "...most interesting and important composition of late Second Temple Judaism." Subsequent chapters explore the book's authorship, its internal contradictions, the divine epithets and what they mean, and the relationship of Jubilees to other works of the Second Temple period. The volume is published as part of a series, "Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism." Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
