This book is an inquiry into the possibility and consequences of a controlled investigation of the work of one of the gospel writers. Its primary thrust is methodological because it asks how we can identify the work of the final author/editors with any degree of clarity. This study revolves around the use of the OT by the author of the Gospel of Matthew.

Philo of Byblos in the early Roman imperial period claimed to have translated the work of an ancient author Sanchuniathon who recorded stories of the ancient Canaanite gods, stories that resemble the myths found in Ugaritic sources. This monograph provides an English translation of Philo's Greek text with an introduction and notes.

This work first addresses the unity of 2 Maccabees, arguing that the epitome is a unified piece, separate from the prefixed letters. The author then explores the syntax and style of the epitome, noting rhetorical features and arguing that the work uses a nicety of syntax associated with classical, literary writers. The analysis of the narrative reveals a three-fold structure: a) 2 Maccabees 3 – the attack of Heliodorus; b) 2 Macc 4:1 – 10:9 – the profanation of the temple and its purification; c) 2 Macc 10:10 – 15:36 – the defense of the temple. Besides the theme of the defense of the temple, this analysis also revealed the theme defending the Jews against attacks that they are anti-social. Finally, the author explores the epitome in relation to Hellenistic historiography. He argues against the notion that the epitome of 2 Maccabees belongs to the genre of 'pathetic history,' and instead demonstrates that the work belongs to the sub-genre of the defense of a temple by its god.

This monograph, which includes in unchanged or slightly revised form material which has previously appeared in theological journals and elsewhere, defends the thesis that the beginnings of Christian philosophy (represented in the second century by Justin Martyr and Clement of Alexandria) are found in the epistle to the Hebrews. Christian philosophy, in this sense, involves the presentation of Christian teaching in the categories of classical philosophy.

The references to social differences in the Shepherd especially in the second Similitude and the tenth Mandate, suggest a social context in which traditional biblical values of attention to the poor are in tension with the behavior of the members of the church community to which the author belongs. Rather than the usual judgement of the Shepherd as a treatise on early penitential discipline, it is in fact a window into the social relationships and challenges of an early second-century Christian community.

VanderKam carries further an investigation of the relation between wisdom and apocalypse. He shows that not simply wisdom, but mantic wisdom has informed the authors of 1 Enoch 1-36, 73-107. VanderKam affirms the basic correctness of each researcher but sees in their work shortcomings which his own study seeks to rectify.

Investigates whether differences between the OG translation and the Hebrew/Aramaic parent text of Daniel 7―12 are due to intentional theological Tendenz, as has been predominantly proposed in the past, or to errors or the unintentional cross-linguistic mechanics of translation, or to a combination of these reasons. Our investigation proceeds in five stages.
