- This book considers the deutero-canonical work 4Ezra in the larger context of Pseudepigraphic Literature and Hellenisitic Judaism. It reconsiders the traditional association of 4Ezra with Apocalyptic, showing that it also exemplifies categories such as prophecy, liturgy, and wisdom. The monograph complicates the traditional story about pseudepigraphic attribution, thereby transforming understanding of biography, attribution, authorship and interpretation in Second Temple Judaism and beyond.
It further engages with deep and complex theoretical and interdisciplinary models of trauma studies and literary theory. This work involves reinterpreting history, reimagining space, new reading, and what Jonathan Lear has called Radical Hope.
