Book Review: I. Biblical Studies: What is Midrash?

The revision of Emil Schurer's History of the Jewish People was under­ taken in 1964 by Matthew Black and is now completed with the publica­ tion of volume 3, part 2. This volume contains introductions by Vermes and Goodman to Jewish literature of which the original language is uncertain. These include 1 Esdras, the Additions to Esther, the Additions to Daniel, the Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, 2 Enoch, 2 Baruch and bibhcal midrashic works such as the Testa­ ment of Abraham and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. It also contains an appendix on works such as the Odes of Solomon and the Apocryphon of Ezekiel and it is uncertain whether they derive from a Jewish or Christian origin.
