Download or read book Abraham Meets Death written by Jared Ludlow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the narratives of the two Greek recensions of the Testament of Abraham. The genre, characterization, and plot of each recension are discussed and then compared. Ludlow illustrates that Recension A used comedy and humour to give a sophisticated treatment of death, the figure death, and judgment and mercy. Through a careful comparison of narrative elements and vocabulary correspondences between the manuscripts of each recension, he discusses a possible transmission model for the recensions, concluding that Recension A, written in comic form, preceded Recension B. Recension B then excised most of these comic elements.
