Micah D. Kiel is an Assistant Professor of Theology, with a specialization in Biblical Studies, at St Ambrose University, USA.
Summarized.
*New Testament Abstracts*
A revised doctoral dissertation from Princeton Theological Seminary
(2008), Kiel’s monograph is an important contribution to
Theological perspectives in Second Temple Judaism, as it situates
the long form of the Book of Tobit […] It’s main contribution is to
locate other theological influences in addition to Deuteronomy,
particularly in resonances with creation theology of
contemporaneous apocalyptic literature.
