Reviews
"Macaskill’s Revealed Wisdom and Inaugurated Eschatology in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity makes a worthy contribution to the field. The central premise of the book is fundamentally sound, namely, that the 'inaugurated eschatology' found in four ancient
Jewish and early Christian texts consistently emphasizes revealed wisdom, thereby
explaining the fusion of sapiential and apocalyptic elements. The fact that the model
could easily be applied to texts beyond the four studied reinforces its merit." - Brian Han Gregg
