As some of you may remember, I have a certain affinity for ‘intertestamental’ literature, such as the Deuterocanon and the Psalms of Solomon. I will be spending some time this week on a special project to expand what I have written, bringing in other sources into the work. To that end, I am trying to build a bibliography of useful works on the Psalms:
These are the books that I have borrowed from our local library,
- Jewish Literature Between The Bible And The Mishnah, with CD-ROM, Second Edition, George Nickelsburg (this is an updated edition which I should have on my doorstep on Wednesday. I borrowed a very old one)
- New English Translation of the Septuagint (I wish that Bibleworks had an electronic copy of this)
- The Historical Figure of Jesus, E.P. Sanders
- The Old Testament Apocrypha: An Introduction, Otto Kaiser
- The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant, John Dominic Crossan
- Is Jesus the Only Savior, James R. Edwards
- Saint Saul, Donald Harman Akenson
- Jewish World around the New Testament, Richard Bauckham
- Jewish Messianism and the Cult of Christ, William Horbury
- The New Perspective on Paul, James Dunn
I should be able to get access to JSTOR in the next few days which will open up journal articles, but for now, these will be the sources that I am working with, plus anything that I can find on Google Books.
Here's a quick copy and paste from my dissertation footnotes:
Gene L. Davenport, “The 'Anointed of the Lord' in Psalms of Solomon 17,” in Ideal Figures in Ancient Judaism: Profiles and Paradigms (Ann Arbor, Michigan: Scholars Press, 1980)
Robert B. Wright, The Psalms of Solomon: A Critical Edition of the Greek Text (London: T & T Clark International, 2007)
Academic books or very expensive, and unfortunately, the closest thing we have to a decent library is in Ohio of all places. Thanks for help, Rick. Any quotes you can share?
