Given the importance of representations and reinterpretations of Abraham within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, a careful analysis of this early source is an important contribution to research both on the evolving images of biblical patriarchs and on the history of biblical interpretation. There are many references to Jubilees in articles and books on images of Abraham. They are chosen for exegetical motifs, with little attention for its own literary and narrative dynamics, or for the specific writing and reading practices that it embodies and attests. Van Ruiten’s careful analysis thus provides important context and corrective.Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism161.TheologyElectronic books.Theology.229.911229/.911Ruiten J. van(Jacques)943529MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462364103321Abraham in the Book of Jubilees2129445UNINA
