Bibliotheca Orientalis
"Well written contributions by experts in the field, offering an
instructive picture of modes of 'biblical' interpretation in Jewish
literature of the Second Temple period." Theological Book
Review
"A very valuable collection of essays." Catholic Biblical
Quarterly
"This well-balanced, selective Companion provides a roadmap to the
extensive terminology and developments associated with biblical
reception and interpretation in Second Temple Judah. . . . Focused,
informative, reliable." Journal for the Study of the New
Testament
"This is an excellent book. . . . Both established researchers and
newer students in the field will find much of value in this volume,
not least the up-to-date bibliographies at the end of each
chapter." Review of Biblical Literature
"This is a very helpful collection of essays and will serve as a
needed reference work. . . . A much-needed volume and we can all be
glad to have it in an inexpensive edition." Hebrew Studies
"Brings together a collection of essays about authors and works
stretching in time from the Hebrew Bible itself up until the cusp
of rabbinic literature. . . . Scholars, in their roles both as
researchers and as instructors, will find the entire volume
valuable for its individual contributions." Reviews in Religion and
Theology
"The Companion makes an important topic, covering a large field,
available in relatively short, but highly informative and overall
well written chapters. . . . The book is imperative for students of
the history of biblical interpretation. However, also related
fields, such as Jewish interpretation, biblical interpretation in
general or even background to the New Testament, would benefit from
this fine work."
