The first four essays focus on the expansion of the sacred tradition primarily through vision. The evolution of the Solomon legacy, from wise king to healer and exorcist, is explored, as well as its contribution to the demonology of the desert fathers, especially as it concerns eroticism and sexual temptation. The varied receptions of the \u003ci\u003eRevelation of the Magi\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShepherd of Hermas\u003c\/i\u003e are also considered.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The remaining five essays address important questions relating to polemic and violence in the Pseudepigrapha. How does the author of the \u003ci\u003eLiber Antiquitatum Biblicarum\u003c\/i\u003e justify God's alternating judgment and favor? How does Enoch's \u003ci\u003eAnimal Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e make use of the Exodus tradition in its expression of deliverance? On what basis can the author of Qumran's \u003ci\u003eWar Scroll\u003c\/i\u003e confidently predict Israel's vindication? And finally, what accounts for the appearance of the tradition of Gehenna, in which the wicked will meet their fiery end?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig A.
