Michael Langlois

The latest edition of the Introduction to the Old Testament features a new section on the Eastern Churches’ Old Testament, with a general introduction followed by individual presentations of the main books included in the oriental canons.

I was asked to write this section, in which I proposed to include the following books: 3–4 Maccabees, 3–4 Esdras, Jubilees, Enoch, and the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs.

Here is a list of my contributions in PDF format:

Michael Langlois, « L’Ancien Testament des Églises d’Orient » in Introduction à l’Ancien Testament, 2^e édition, édité par Thomas Römer, Jean-Daniel Macchi, et Christophe Nihan, Genève, Labor et Fides, 2009, p. 805-813. 9 p.

Michael Langlois, « 3–4 Maccabées », ibidem, p. 814-821. 8 p.

Michael Langlois, « 3–4 Esdras », ibidem, p. 822-831. 10p.

Michael Langlois, « Hénoch », ibidem, p. 849-858. 10 p.

With the editors’ agreement, I proposed David Hamidović to present Jubilees and the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, and I thank him for his collaboration.
