Clarifies complex narratives of the Testament of Abraham

You will gain deeper insights into biblical interpretations

This scholarly work delves into the Testament of Abraham's narratives.

Examining the narratives of the two Greek recensions of the Testament of Abraham, this text discusses and compares the genre, characterization, and plot of each recension. Ludlow illustrates that Recension A used comedy and humour to give a sophisticated treatment of death, the figure death, and judgment and mercy. Through a careful comparison of narrative elements and vocabulary correspondences between the manuscripts of each recension, he discusses a possible transmission model for the recensions, concluding that Recension A, written in comic form, preceded Recension B. Recension B then excised most of these comic elements.
