Recenzii
Jennie Grillo's Daniel After Babylon is an enlightening and enriching journey, tracing major themes from the Additions to Daniel through their developments in both Jewish and Christian contexts. She demonstrates that she is astute reader and interpreter of these fascinating Apocryphal passages, and moreover, that she is a gifted guide, leading the reader through a fascinating set of investigations into their afterlife, which combine diverse methodologies, including material history, literary readings, visual and artistic analysis, and theological explorations. Her lucid writing invites the reader to join her in this quest and makes this book a pleasure to read.
In this original and insightful approach to the reception of the Additions to Daniel, Jennie Grillo emphasizes the ways in which these narratives and poems were experienced in the religious imagination of generations of Christians. The attention to the materiality of manuscripts, illustrations, and paintings expands the reader's sense of how reception happens. Lived practices of prayer, song, and visualization, rather than commentary, are brought to the fore. Many readers will be astonished that what so often seems a marginal part of the biblical corpus played a central role in the shaping of Christian understanding and piety. A superb study.
