Rousseau proposed to the CUA Press the formation of a new book series on early Christianity "designed to present collections of essays built tightly around a single theme." The series was established under Professor Rousseau's general editorship, and in 2007 its inaugural volume, The Early Christian Book, was published, based on papers delivered at a conference of the same name held at the Catholic University of America in 2002. Nine volumes have appeared since then, with more on the way: the present volume is the eleventh in the series. Philip's hope was that the series would explore the early Christian world in all its cultural, theological, and linguistic diversity, and he guided its creation and development with that prospect constantly in view. His recent passing is a loss to the scholarly community-not least for the ways in which he worked to foster the scholarship of others. The series continues in his memory and in gratitude for his generosity, editorial guidance, and steady confidence in the future of early Christian studies.

"The essays in this book study an array of Jewish and Christian responses to the biblical of Genesis as they took shape in specific literary forms-the unique genres of late antique poetry. While late antique and early medieval Jews and Christians did not always agree in their interpretations of Genesis, they participated broadly in a shared culture of poetic production. Though late antique poems developed in a variety of languages and across religious boundaries, scholarly study of late antique poetry has tended to isolate the phenomenon according to language. As a corrective to this linguistic isolation, this book initiates a comparative conversation around the Jewish and Christian poetry that emerged in late antique Aramaic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Syriac. Tending equally to exegetical content and literary form, the essays in this book sit at the intersection of a variety of scholarly conversations-around the history of biblical exegesis, the formation of late antique and early medieval literature and literary culture, and the comparative study of Judaism and Christianity"-- Provided by publisher
