This is a reading course required for Ph.D. students in Hermeneutics and Biblical Interpretation.  Most of the readings cover the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha, but there will also be select readings in Qumran, Josephus, and Philo.  In addition, there will be some secondary readings surveying the field.
