This volume of essays is intended to continue the work begun by the Apocalypse Group of the Society of Biblical Literature s Genres Project. That group consisted of Harold W. Attridge, Francis Τ Fallon, Anthony J. Saldarmi, Adela Yarbro Collins, and John J. Collins (Chair). It was active from about 1975 to 1978. The results of its collaborative work were
published in volume 14 of Semeia (1979). These results included a defini­tion of the genre "apocalypse," a master paradigm of the significant features of representatives of the genre from the points of view of form and content, and a typology of the genre (delineation of types and sub­types).
