- Title
The Prayers of the Seventh Book of the Apostolic Constitutions and their Implications for the Formulation of the Synagogue Prayers.
- Authors
Kister, Menahem
- Abstract
It has long been recognized that Christianized Hebrew prayers, similar to the A midah prayer for the Sabbath (with the exception of the last benediction, Sim shalom), were included in the seventh book of the Apostolic Constitutions (henceforth: AC VII); The first section of the present article tries to distinguish the different strata of the prayers included in AC VII and to demonstrate the stages of their development by analyzing those prayers equivalent to the first and the fourth benedictions (AC VII, 33, 36). It is argued that several interpolations, elaborations and reformulations may be discerned in the original Jewish sources of the prayers, prior to Christian interpolations and adaptations. Parts of the text are similar to the Hebrew benedictions, while others are Hellenistic Jewish homilies.
