David A. deSilva 
Fourth Maccabees and the Promotion of the Jewish Philosophy [PDF ebook] 
Rhetoric, Intertexture, and Reception

Wsparcie

Fourth Maccabees is a superbly crafted oration that presents a case for the Jewish way of life couched almost entirely in terms of Greek ethical ideals. Using an expansion upon previous scriptural narratives as an opportunity for philosophical exposition, its author delights in the Torah, the Law of Moses, as the divinely given path to becoming our best selves now. Moreover, drawing upon Greek logic tradition, he develops an elaborate rationalisation of that law based upon the promise of eternal life with God. In this collection of essays spanning two decades of study, David de Silva examines the formative training that produced such an author, the rhetorical craft present in his work, and the author”s creative use of both Jewish and Greek literary resources. Finally, he demonstrates the book”s enduring message and legacy in the Christian church, from theological influence on Origen to textual relations within Codex Sinaiticus.
