Abstract

This Festschrift was published on the occasion of James VanderKam’s sixty-fifth birthday and twentieth anniversary on the faculty of the University of Notre Dame. The fact that it consists of two volumes containing not less than 51 articles immediately reveals that James VanderKam is held in great respect by his colleagues. The essays are related to five broader topics covered in five distinct parts. Part one consists of 12 contributions and is called “The Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East.” Part two has 13 articles on “Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls.” In part three, eight articles are shared under the heading “Early Judaism”, followed by eleven contributions in part four, “Studies on Enoch and Jubilees.” The fifth and final part consists of seven articles related to “The New Testament and Early Christianity.” Within the space of this review, it is impossible to mention all contributors, let alone discuss all papers. For this reason, I will focus on the Book of Jubilees . This is the topic through which I first became familiar with the work of James VanderKam while I was still a student.
