Jubilees is an ancient rewriting of Genesis and the first part of Exodus from an anonymous second-century BCE Jewish author whose distinctive perspective--as well as the writing's apparent popularity at Qumran--makes it particularly important for any reconstruction of early Judaism. James C. VanderKam, the world's foremost authority on the writing, offers a new translation and the first full commentary on the book in the English language, covering contemporary scholarship and describing the book's influence on Jewish and Christian writers.

Philippians
Paul A. Holloway treats Philippians as a literary unity and a letter of consolation, written probably in Rome and thus the latest of Paul's letters. Adapting the methodology of what he calls a new history of religions perspective, Holloway attends carefully to the religious topoi of Philippians, especially the metamorphic myth in chapter 2, and draws significant conclusions about Paul's personalism and "mysticism". Holloway draws richly on Jewish, Greek, and Roman comparative material to present a complex understanding of the apostle as a Hellenized and Romanized Jew.
