Media Reviews

Professor Metzger's Introduction to the Apocrypha is a classic. The style of the author makes the book not only highly informative but also eminently readable. Students of the Bible will find in this book a truly enjoyable introduction to an important body of religious literature which had an amazing impact upon culture. --Gunther Wagner, University of New Mexico

For several decades this has been a classic text for the study of Jewish literature between the Old and New Testament periods. It still stands as a classic and vital text for the study of this literature. --Donald D. Williford, Hardin Simmons University

An excellent piece of work...by a sound Biblical and historical scholar. --Luther A. Weigle

An excellent summary of the literature and a good guide to the passages demanding closer scrutiny. [It] also reveals the pervasive influence of the Apocrypha in art, religion, and literature. --James B. Shelton, Oral Roberts University
