Octavo, paper covers, xiv, 302 pp., select bibliography, indexes For scholars interested in early Judaism, Greco-Roman religions, the New Testament and early Christianity, as well as theologians interested in pneumatology. John R. Levison is Professor of New Testament at Seattle Pacific University and the author of Portraits of Adam in Early Judaism (Sheffield, 1988) and edited, with Louis H. Feldman Josephus Contra Apionem: Studies in its Character and Context with a Latin Concordance to the Portion Missing in Greek (Brill, 1996). The Spirit in First Century Judaism mirrors the growing recognition that the role of the Spirit in Judaism and early Christianity warrants further scholarly inquiry and moreover lays a cornerstone in the foundation of pneumatological studies by scouring the writings of the likes of Plato and Plutarch, Daniel and the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as those of Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus. Levison contextualizes the material both historically and literarily, taking seriously the influence of popular Greco-Roman thinking as well as Jewish exegetical traditions. Convincingly argued, cogently presented, and thoroughly documented, this volume, in the words of the Journal of Jewish Studies, "has profound ramifications for both Jewish and New Testament Studies.".
