Description: "The 61st Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense took place from July 26-28, 2012 in the Maria-Theresia College and the Paus Adrianus VI College of the KU Leuven. This 61st Colloquium on Old Testatment Pseudepigrapha and the Scriptures, and the preceding 60th Colloquium on Apocryphal Gospels within the context of early Christian theology, may be envisaged as a diptych corresponding to the two scholarly corpora of Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and New Tesatment Apocrypha that were created by Johann Albert Fabricius, three centuries ago. However, both colloquia had their own particular focus, and the 61st one concentrates on the textual and literary relationships between these Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the scriptures, in particular the scriptures of the Old Testament." --From Preface.
Notes: Selected papers from the 61st Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense, held July 26-28, 2012, in Louvain, Belgium.
