James M. Scott focuses on a particular Old Testament pseudepigraphon--The Book of Jubilees. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach based on detailed analysis of primary sources, much of which is seldom considered by New Testament scholars, and explores the neglected topic of ancient geographical conceptions. By studying geographical aspects of the work, Dr. Scott is able to relate Jubilees to both Old and New Testament traditions, bringing important new insights into Christian concepts of annunciation.

Praise for this book

"Scott's far-ranging study will be of interest to specialists in early Judaism and early Christianity, as well as to students of ancient and medieval cartography and chronography...his study, a mine of information for future research, demonstrates how much there is to learn about the Christian reception of Jewish literature from the period of the Second Temple."
