Jewish Literature between the Bible and the Mishnah
Currents in Theology and Mission, June, 2007 by Ralph W. Klein
Jewish Literature between the Bible and the Mishnah. By George W. Nickelsburg (Fortress, 29). This is the best introduction to the literature of the intertestamental period (325 B.C.E. to 100 C.E), and in this second edition N. has included several more works from the apocrypha and the Dead Sea Scrolls and completely updated the bibliography.
This edition comes with a CDRom that allows searching of the text and contains 100 pictures and a study guide. This literature shows the lively character of the various kinds of Judaism in the New Testament period and of course supplies indispensable background to many of the New Testament's ideas (e.g., son of man, messiah, apocalyptic, exegetical methods).
