Dunnon theEmeritus Lightfoot ProfessorUniversity of DurhamBibleJubilees––so called because of its concern with marking forty-nine-year periods(or “jubilees”) in Israel’s history––is an ancient rewriting of Genesis and the first partof Exodus from the point of view of an anonymous second-century BCE Jewishauthor. Its distinctive perspective—as well as its apparent popularity at Qumran—make it particularly important for any reconstruction of early Judaism. James C.VanderKam, the world’s foremost authority on Jubilees, offers a new translationbased on his own critical editions of all the available textual evidence, includingthe Hebrew fragments preserved at Qumran (which he first published in Discoveriesin the Judean Desert, vol. 13), as well as the first full running commentary on thebook in the English language. VanderKam approaches the book as a rewriting ofScripture but also as a literary work in its own right. The commentary explains thetext and the teachings of the author with comprehensive coverage of the modernscholarship devoted to them. The introduction sets Jubilees in its second-centuryBCE context, traces its sources in the Bible and in other early Jewish texts, anddescribes its influence on Jewish and Christian writers. 89 64.99 November 2018 1,625pp hc 978-0-8006-6035-2“Simply the most thorough and most authoritativecommentary on Jubilees ever written.”“VanderKam has studied Jubilees for more than forty years, beginning withhis dissertation at Harvard.
