Reviews
[T]he papers in this Handbook permit its readers to orient themselves in the sometimes bewildering original texts and occasionally equally bewildering secondary literature on this fascinating corpus. Accessible and serious in equal measure, the Handbook can sit alongside its companions in the OUP catalogue on biblical studies, early Christian studies, and the reception history of the bible, with all of which it has numerous points of crossover or intersection. * Paul Bishop, Religion * This is an absolutely excellent volume, which fills a real need and is likely to serve as the standard reference work on the Apocrypha for decades to come. * Susan E. Doherty, Journal for the Study of the New Testament * This volume is a welcome introductory resource for students and scholars seeking to situate themselves in the rather large (if not to say daunting) corpus of early Christian apocrypha and current scholarship on it. The contributions of each author, all of them well-established scholars in this field of study, are relatively brief yet highly informative. ... The work is highly recommended for those looking to become familiar with the key texts and scholarly perspectives of the early Apocrypha. * Callie Callon, Religious Studies Review * Andrew Gregory and Christopher Tuckett have provided scholars and students alike with a valuable new resource for the study of apocryphal literature. ... this volume offers a welcome reconsideration and reappraisal of many of our long-held, often misguided notions concerning apocryphal texts. * Janet Spittler, RBL *
