The author of the “Histoire du Peuple d’Israël” and the “Origines du Christianisme” calls attention to the first emergence in the “intertestamental” apocrypha of certain characteristic Christian themes, and M. Dupont-Sommer refers to this.

Anyone who goes to the Gospels from the literature of the intertestamental apocrypha and that of the Dead Sea sect must feel at once the special genius of Jesus and be struck by the impossibility of falling in with one of the worst tendencies of insensitive modern scholarship and accounting for everything in the Gospels in terms of analogies and precedents.

I have mentioned the apocryphal documents of the “intertestamental” period, which were known in translations before the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls.
