After questioning the scholarly assumptions regarding the “heretical” Nag Hammadi Library and the “apocalyptic” Dead Sea Scrolls, Kanigan-Fairen will argue that they were not diametrically opposed, but represent a scribal reconfiguration of an Enochic worldview as a critique of foreign rule. |
| ![]() | Aphrahat the Persian Sage and the Temple of God by Stephanie K. Skoyles Jarkins
This books examines Aphrahat the Persian Sage’s views of asceticism, sacramental theology, Christology, and ecclesiology and concludes that Aphrahat, a mid-fourth century Christian author, uses themes with ancient roots, including Merkabah traditions of the temple and applies these traditions to the Christian experience of God. |
|  | The Jews in the Works of the Church Fathers by Samuel Krauss
In this stellar study of what the works of select patristic authors (Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Eusebius Ephraem, and Jerome) reveal about the Aggadah, Samuel Krauss offers an insightful and provocative reading of the sources. |
| ![]() | Aphraates and the Jews by Frank Gavin

| Title: | The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, Especially in its Relations to Israel | | Subtitle: | Five Lectures Delivered at Harvard University | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press LLC | | Publication Date: | 5/2008 | | From the 1908 edition | | Availability: | In Print | | ISBN: | 978-1-59333-614-1 | | Format: | Hardback, 6 x 9 in | | Volumes: | 1 | | Pages: | xiv + 235 | | Illustrations: | 26 |
Originally a series of five lectures delivered at Harvard University, this book is an early attempt to tackle a formidable subject: the religion of ancient Iraq, or Mesopotamia. Rogers’s rare work begins with a summary of the rediscovery of the religions of Babylonia and Assyria. The divine world of these ancient empires is uncovered through an exploration of their gods and cosmologies. The ancient Akkadian culture is well known for its collection of sacred texts in the form of clay tablets. Rogers considers their role in the religion of this region. This informative presentation concludes with consideration of the myths and epics of Mesopotamia, many of which are still required reading in school literary programs. All subsequent explorations of this subject owe a debt of gratitude to this pioneering study.
Robert William Rogers (1864-1930) earned his Ph.D. at Leipzig University. His teaching career included appointments at Drew Theological Seminary in New Jersey, and Princeton University, where he taught Ancient Oriental Literature. His best know publication is his two-volume A History of Babylonia and Assyria.
