Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

Sibylline Oracles presents a complete English translation of the ancient oracular poems attributed to the Sibyls—prophetesses believed to have foretold major historical and religious changes. Terry contextualizes each oracle, tracing their origins in Hellenistic Judaism and their later adoption by early Christians as prophetic support for messianic expectations. This volume is invaluable for students of prophecy, classical literature, and the interplay between Greco-Roman culture and emerging Christian belief.
