Paperback / softback
Description
This significant contribution to our knowledge of Egyptian Christianity in the late third century includes discussion of the Apocalypse of Elijah as religious literature; the Egyptian provenance of the document; its social and historical context; a complete translation.
Frankfurter s analysis of The Apocalypse of Elijah is a detailed and creative piece of work.
His mastery of literary theory and the social-scientific method is evident throughout, and the union of the two methods in this work is impressive.
James E. Goehring, Mary Washington College This book is a remarkable piece of work.
Frankfurter makes a convincing case for the use of native Egyptian prophetic traditions in the Apocalypse of Elijah.
