The Vulgate Bible - (Kinney Angela M.)()

Harvard University Press 2012 Harvard University Press 672 Hardback

Volume V of a projected six-volume Vulgate Bible presents the twelve minor prophetical books of the Old Testament, as well as two deuterocanonical books, 1 and 2 Maccabees. The major prophets' themes of judgment and redemption are further developed here by the minor prophets. Influential martyrdom narratives anticipate Christian hagiography.
