Of Scribes and Sages: Early Jewish Interpretation and Transmission of Scripture (2005) is a collection of essays edited by Craig A. Evans.

Abstract

"Of Scribes and Sages focuses primarily on early interpretation of Scripture, including the emergence of Scripture as Scripture in its various versions and contexts. It examines recent research into the relationship of the Old Testament to the New and how sacred Scripture was interpreted during New Testament times. It also provides stimulating examples to students, scholars, and clergy in how the task of interpretation is to be done."--Publisher description.
