James L. Kugel, "A Walk Through Jubilees: Studies in the Book of Jubilees and the World of Its Creation"

Tis volume explores dierent aspects of the book of Jubilees—in my opinion the most interesting and important composition of late Second Temple Judaism. It begins with a commentary on the book itself, the product of some years of study (Chapter 1). is is followed by three individual studies aimed at exploring the matter of multiple authorship in Jubilees. Chapter  thus highlights two sharply conßicting views of the origin of the Torah’s laws that exist side-by-side in Jubilees. Chap-ter  examines a series of internal contradictions in the book; this chapter shares some of the content of an article published not long ago, but con-tains a good amount of new material as well. Chapter  is a brief survey of divine epithets used in the book and what they can tell us. e next four chapters all seek to explore the relationship of Jubilees as a whole to other works of the Second Temple period: the Genesis Apocryphon, the Aramaic Levi Document (ALD), the Dead Sea Scrolls text 4Q225 “Pseudo-Jubilees,” and the writings of Philo of Alexandria.
