Some scholars have turned to Jewish "novels" such as Tobit, Joseph and Aseneth, 1-4 Maccabees, Susanna, or even Judith to see how Jews told their own stories of the ways of God and the demands of discipleship. Among the topics are Egypt as the setting for Joseph and Aseneth, the Wisdom of Solomon and the Gnostic Sophia, Cleopatra in Josephus, expectations of Nero's return in the Egyptian Sibylline Oracles Book Five, martyrdom and gender in ancient Alexandria, the Gospel of Thomas and the historical Jesus, and human degradation and the recovery of the primal condition according to some early Christian texts. |
