Description

Alongside his long-awaited systematic introduction to the Pseudo-Clementines, F. Stanley Jones collects into one volume over thirty new and previously published essays on the Pseudo-Clementines, Elchasai, and Jewish Christianity. This corpus spans three decades of concerted research into manuscripts, ancient witnesses, editions, translations, reconstructions, and historical analysis. A chorus of Jewish Christian voices from second/third-century Syria emerges and reveals distinctive beliefs and literary productions in their interface with contemporary Judaism, gentile Christianity, and the pagan world. "The book of Elchasai", for example, is reconstructed and translated as an eye-opening church order from 116-117 C.E. This volume provides vistas for new appreciations of ancient Jewish Christianity as well as of the sparkling diversity in early Christianity generally.00.
