About the author

Robert Henry Charles (1855–1931) was an Irish biblical scholar and theologian. He left parochial work in 1889 to devote himself to biblical research and became the greatest authority of his time in matters of Jewish eschatology and apocrypha. He became a canon at Westminster Abbey in 1913 and archdeacon there in 1919. His books include Eschatology (1913, 2nd ed), Between the Old and New Testaments (1914), and his edition of The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament. (1913). He is known particularly for English translations of apocryphal and pseudepigraphal works, and editions including Jubilees (1895), the Book of Enoch (1906), and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (1908) which have been widely used. Among his other publications are The Apocalypse (1920), Divorce and Nullity (1927), and The Resurrection of Man (1930). He was educated at the Belfast Academy, Queen's College, Belfast and Trinity College, Dublin. He gained a D.D. and became Professor of Biblical Greek at Trinity College.

Reviews

[Erin Estes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think the book of Judith was my favorite in this collection of texts. A challenge to work through some of the dryer texts, but interesting to read through nonetheless.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

I spent a year reading through the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha so you won't have to. It is not easy reading, although it is useful for scholars who are interested in Jewish Literature around the time of Christ. Overall, these are dense books that do not make for fascinating reading.
