Description: SEE PHOTOS Dustjacket: *chipping and tears ( mylar protected ) Book: very good condition( lite shelfwear ) The Apocryphal Literature BY Charles Cutler Torrey; Professor Of Semitic Languages, Emeritus In Yale University Yale University Press 1945 The study of the Jewish religious books lying outside the canon of sa- cred scripture is now recognized as important for students of either Old Testament or New Testament. Read- ers of the world's famous literature are familiar with the wisdom of Sir- ach, the stories of Tobit and Judith, the history of the Maccabean struggle for religious freedom, the legends of patriarchs and prophets, and other Jewish writings which in their time exercised great influence. A brief hand- book describing the origin and char- acter of each of these "apocryphal" books, and giving a concise history of their use in the Christian Church has been a desideratum. The present volume is well indexed, and refer- ences are given to the most impor- tant literature.
