Jewish-Christian Interpretation of the Pentateuch in the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies e-bog

The pseudo-Clementine writings are one of the most intriguing and valuable sources for early Jewish Christianity. They offer a second- or third-century polemic against the form of Christianity that eventually won out, the Gentile-majority, law-free Christianity that took Paul as its champion. Carlsons interest here is in the highly unusual theory expressed in the Homilies that the Pentateuch is saturated with ';false pericopes,' and that the teaching of Jesus, the ';true prophet,' is the criterion for establishing what the Pentateuch really means.
