Further essays engage the divine polemic against Apollo found within the \u003ci\u003eSibylline Oracles\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as an exploration of prophetic declarations regarding the establishment of God's kingdom on earth. The role of Deuteronomic theology in shaping Second Temple Jewish eschatology is also examined, as well as the role of the Messiah in bringing salvation to both Jews and gentiles in the \u003ci\u003ePsalms of Solomon, \u003c\/i\u003eculminating in an engagement with the historical and textual complexities of Luke 3:23 and the baptism of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig A.
