Overview
Enoch, Levi, and Jubilees on Sexuality marks a first stage in William Loadera's research on attitudes toward sexuality in Judaism and Christianity of the Hellenistic Greco-Roman era.Part 1 of this landmark work deals with the early Enoch literature relevant to the theme, including all of 1 Enoch except the Book of Parables and the final chapter. Part 2 deals largely with the fragmentary Aramaic Levi Document as a whole. Part 3, the longest section, contains the discussion of the Jubilees, including an introductory chapter identifying the importance of the theme within the overall structure of the work.
