Abstract:
The Apocrypha are an intrinsic part of Early Judaism, which as a field has undergone some dramatic changes. Starting as the Jewish background of the New Testament, it has developed from Ancient Judaism to Second Temple or Early Judaism, through and integrating the discoveries of the Qumran Scrolls and the re-emergence of the importance of the Pseudepigrapha. The Apocrypha have been part of this change and should therefore also be understood within the context of the many Judaisms during the Greco-Roman period.
