Description: Same as 1st edition. Compares the ethical Rabbinical teachings with the teachings found in the Apocryphical literature. Focuses on the ethical teachings of both literatures. Differentiates between the Apocaliptical writings and the others. Shows that whereas Apocryphic writings were available to the gentiles, Rabbinic thought was not. As a result gentiles misunderstood Judaism. Writes about influence of Judaic writings on Christianity.
