Description

This scholarly volume examines the Book of Ben Sira across its various textual versions, focusing on the extensive passages concerning the afterlife that appear throughout the different stages of the text. Based on Conleth Kearns' groundbreaking doctoral thesis from 1951-previously available only in photocopied form-this publication addresses a critical gap in Ben Sira scholarship. The study investigates how references to the future life in Ecclesiasticus provide crucial insights into the text's origins and development. Part of the Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies series (volume 11), this work is essential for scholars intensively researching Ben Sira's theological content, textual transmission, and interpretative traditions across Jewish and Christian contexts.

Key Features

Examines the Book of Ben Sira's passages on the afterlife across multiple textual versions and stages of composition.

Based on Conleth Kearns' significant 1951 doctoral thesis, now properly published rather than circulated in photocopied form.

Part of the Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies series (volume 11) published by De Gruyter.

Addresses scholarly consensus that investigation of future life references in Ecclesiasticus is vital to understanding the text's origins.

Provides detailed textual analysis connecting Ben Sira's eschatological teaching to questions of authorship and historical development.
