Apocrypha Those books in the Greek version of the OT but not in Jewish canon.
Pseudepigrapha Those works not in the Apocrypha but were popular in parts of the Eastern world.
Development ofthe Theology in the Intertestmental Times: (From Daniel 165 BC to 1 Thessalonians 50 AD)
Thinking about God • OT – God dealt directly with the leaders and people • Change – God works through intermediaries – angels, demons
Afterlife • OT – Sheol – place of the dead where everyone goes (exc. Daniel) • Change – life after death with rewards and punishments, immortality (Gr.), developing ideas about resurrection
Origin of Sin Focus on the Law Satan – Beelzebul, devil, leader of the enemies of God
Context: • Traditionally linked to John Mark • Mid 60’s – before destruction of Temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD • Place of writing prob. Rome • Shortest, earliest, least popular • Who is the ONE we really follow
Characteristics: • Jesus as uniquely “Son of God” • “Secrecy motif” • Spiritual blindness of Jesus’ disciples • Man of action
