This collection presents innovative research by scholars from across
the globe in celebration of Gabriele Boccaccini’s sixtieth birthday
and to honor his contribution to the study of early Judaism and
Christianity. In harmony with Boccaccini’s determination to promote
the study of Second Temple Judaism in its own right, this volume
includes studies on various issues raised in early Jewish apocalyptic
literature (e.g., 1 Enoch, 2 Baruch, 4 Ezra), the Dead Sea Scrolls,
and other early Jewish texts, from Tobit to Ben Sira to Philo and
beyond. The volume also provides several investigations on early
Christianity in intimate conversation with its Jewish sources,
consistent with Boccaccini’s efforts to transcend confessional and
disciplinary divisions by situating the origins of Christianity firmly
within Second Temple Judaism. Finally, the volume includes essays that
look at Jewish-Christian relations in the centuries following the
Second Temple period, a harvest of Boccaccini’s labor to rethink the
relationship between Judaism and Christianity in light of their shared
yet contested heritage.
