Rewritten Bible After Fifty Years presents the papers of a conference on the meanings and usages of the term Rewritten Bible introduced by Geza Vermes in 1961. Leading scholars of the topic discuss their new insights and ideas comparing with Vermes' initiative, whose participation on this conference was unfortunately the last chance for a life dialogue with him on this topic.
Apart from the terminological discussions and comparisions several case studies widen the scope of the notion of Rewritten Bible/Scripture and rewriting as a genre and technique.

The subject matter of the volume is so very important and so extremely interesting that the reader should be appreciative of the effort and time which it took to assemble. ... Students of the Hebrew Bible and ‘Reception History’ will benefit considerably from a reading of this work. And even a re-reading of it.

Rewritten Bible after Fifty Years contains a wealth of new syntheses making contributions in multiple disciplines and subfields. The volume provides mature reflections upon terminology and techniques and new discussions of the phenomenon in regard to biblical texts, Qumran manuscripts, Hellenistic Jewish authors, as well as rabbinic, gnostic, and Samaritan texts. (...) it (...) sows the seed that will likely keep scholars engaged with the relevant texts, terms, and techniques for some time to come.
