About this book

This volume discusses various conceptions of family and kinship in the context of deuterocanonical literature. After analyzing the topic family in a narrow sense of the term, the articles investigate general ideas of morality, respect, or love and take a critical look at representations of gender, power, and social norms in Judaism and Early Christianity.

Reviews

"The articles in this volume provide a valuable impression of the questions
and issues that the common theme of family engenders when studied across
traditional (deutero)canonical boundaries."
Andrew B. Perrin in: Journal for the Study of Judaism 46/2015
