Review Quotes

"Unless you were using the original texts and a set of appropriate concordances, the "Scripture Index to Charlesworth's The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha "is the tool you were waiting for."- Kristin De Troyer, "Religious Studies Review, "Vol. 33 No. 1 January 2007--Sanford Lakoff

"Since 1983, when volume one of the OTP appeared, scholars and students have asked me for guidance to citations of a biblical passage in the OTP. I did not possess a scriptural index to help them. Now, Professor Delamarter has offered us a monumental work, a valuable tool that helps us comprehend the meaning of a pseudepigraphon, and the ways a biblical book or passage has been interpreted in this vast corpus. We now have another key for perceiving how scripture was read, understood, and shaped by early Jews and Christians. A careful study of the citations themselves, and a precise retro version into Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek (which may not be difficult if the work is extant in those languages) will also guide us to a better understanding of the shape of a scriptural passage (conceivably not only its wording but even its orthography)." James H. Charlesworth
