The Psalms of Solomon: Facing Greek – English Text
Libro 1 en Early Jewish Writings
This is a parallel facing edition of The Psalms of Solomon. The Psalms of Solomon are a response to the crisis of the Roman conquest of Judea and Jerusalem (63 BCE). They are of historical and theological significance. The Psalms speak of divine judgement for sins in Jerusalem (1, 2, 8, 17). The Roman conquerors act in judgement, yet are judged themselves, just like the Assyrians and Babylonians. Eschatologically, the Psalms speak of both resurrection and destruction (e.g., 2.31, 3.12). And the Psalms contain a rarer mention of messianism for early Jewish writings. They reference the coming Messiah/Christ (Psalm 17) who is a king and son of David.
This book is part of a unique series that contains early Jewish writings in ancient languages alongside English translations on facing pages. This series is designed as a useful cost-efficient tool for students, scholars, and lay persons interested in studying early Jewish writings. These works are important since they were considered authoritative by many early Jewish and Christian communities. Furthermore, they are saturated with examples of early Jewish biblical interpretation and correct false assumptions about early Judaism. Finally for Christians they are important since the New Testament quotes and alludes to these works.
Other features include:
- Introduction to this book and early Jewish literature
- Paradigm charts of noun and verbs
- Wide margins
